I'm okay with people stealing GPL code to look at it with friends over a few beers and popcorn.

The GPL already doesn't prevent that kind of usage, so clearly that's not what the parent was talking about

My point is that the argument is a false dichotomy. We could very well legalize filesharing without making the GPL any weaker.
