Copying intangible information is not the same as sharing a physical object. In one, someone loses nothing besides perceived revenues from the sale of information. In the other, you have to give up the object so that someone else can make use of it.Stop trying to tell us that information is somehow something that can be stolen or possessed. We're not buying it.
No, it's really not. Even though it's the twenty first century, people's lives exist outside of technology, where sharing perfectly matches his definition. Your comment makes me wonder about the status of your social life, but since it's the internet and insults are easy I'll just drop it.

Putting it that way, probably not many, but I'm sure many of us have been taught the mentality of sharing.
