Um. yes, but “use of filesharing technology” is completely unrelated
in anything but a technical sense to sanctioning individuals sharing

The implication is that the BBC approved of the sharing of iplayer content, of course it was subject to DRM.

Yes, the Spanish, allow filesharing as long as it is non-profit.
It does not require the abolision of copyright, which is subject of international treaties (Berne Convention).
