Legislation has always support both cases, at least here at Spain. It's the
same case as same years ago record a copy of a rented or a open-to-air or a
encrypted pay-per-view channel (Canal +) movie on VHS,  or lease a buyed
one or give it to a friend after seeing it, or record a CD on a cassette,
only that with better quality. Currently all this things have been
explicitly legal since at least '80s (although lobbies try to change it
with FUDs) and it's social and legally accepted as "fair use" (although we
don't have this exact term on our jurisprudence per-se, but practical
effects are the same), and just all the DRM platforms violate all this
rights we have.

I'm not bragging about my use of pirate content, I'm bragging about my
citizen rights, by far it's not the same thing.
