If you share it by making a copy of it and giving to your friend, then yes, it is stealing. If you buy a book/movie/CD and loan or give that to a friend, and you keep no copies, then no, it is not stealing.

I don't think so. But I think that if you download a movie or book from the internet that it stealing. There is a big difference between borrowing a movie from a friend, and downloading a movie off of a total stranger.

No. As long as you are not charging for the use of the movie, then it is fine to share the movie or book. That and you are not allowing someone to copy the item (movie or book).

No. The First-Sale Doctrine, which apples to materials protected by copyright (Also patent, similarly) says that once you purchase an item, you are free to do what you want with that particular item. So you can lend it, sell it, or give it away. What you can't do is copy it and then give, lend or sell those copies. Your rights are over only the item you own.
This is in the Copyright Act of 1976

No. When you lend the book or movie, you have formed a contract, and both of you decide when the object(movie, book) is to be returned, and if it isnt returned at the day you both decided, then the contract is violated, and then the lenderer can sue

If you lend a book to a friend, that is legal.
If you loan a movie to a friend that is legal.
If you copy the book or the movie, and give a copy to a friend, that is illegal.

No. Assuming you have purchaded the book or movie legally, you have committed no crime.

how do you mean? that you let them borrow it and they return it to you? or do you just give them away?
nope its not, because its leaving your hands and going to someone else either permanently or temporarily
and it with your permission.
