I'm not sure about the USA, but in Australia digital media is treated
differently to print media. They are under different Acts, so what is allowable
for print is not necesarily so for digital copies. So my understanding is that
it is not the definition or intent of "sharing" that is at issue, but the media
by which copies are distributed.

Consider this:
1.) A multi player game, FTF. One legitimate copy of the game is required.
2.) A multi player game played over the web. Every player must own a copy
of the game in order for it to be strictly legitimate.
The only difference between 1 & 2 is that all the players can’t be in the
same room at the same time. It comes down to the definition of “sharing”
and the intent of the sharing.
