Yeah. I'm thinking the shared password falls into the category of being able to share a copy of a magazine in your office, either directly, handing someone an article to read, or indirectly, by putting the magazine in a communal table or rack so anyone in the office can read an article they're interested in. Just because the article is digital shouldn't mean it's now suddenly for your eyes only, and everyone needs to buy their own. The question the article didn't cover is how far that password sharing can go. Obviously publicly sharing the link and password to anyone on the web goes well beyond traditional sharing. Even making it available to everyone you know goes well beyond normal. The trick will be determining exactly how far the sharing is allowed to spread.
