Ok, here it is...

Bands are paid for each cd sold. By the book, CDs are for one person's enjoyment. Just like software. One license, one computer.

Copying a cd for personal backup is ok (incase cd gets scratched/broken).

Copying somone else's cd is wrong (but you've already admitted it)

Putting these songs on a server and allowing other people to listen is wrong because the other people did not pay for the right.

Now if you physically give the original cd to someone, so that you will no longer recieve enjoyment from the cd is fine.

Radio stations pay royalties to the bands.

ITunes pays for the right to do what they do.

Anything else?

STFU. They'd copy each other's CD's anyway, he's just helping college kids save money (recordable media, despite being cheaper than water, still costs something)
