Well the definition of sharing would be "to have or use something at the same time as someone else", so as you both have access to the data after the action and can both use it at the same time, I think sharing could be considered valid alongside bartered.

The one that isn't accurate though would be sale, which is an exchange for money.

"Sharing" implies that there isn't a value exchange. When I share something, I'm not expecting anything in return.

I don't think that's necessarily the case - e.g. "Let's share my car and you can help me clean it at the weekend" is a valid sharing arrangement (i.e. share the asset and share the effort to maintain).

Well, we're deep into worthless pedantry here, but I love worthless pedantry.

I would say that despite the casual use of "share" such as in your example, that isn't really "sharing". It's bartering. The use of the car is predicated on getting something in return, so it's an exchange of value.

Regardless of if it's bartering or sharing, it's definetly not a sale :)

Yes, you have shifted my thinking on this a bit. Thank you!
