So if you have a good mix of friends who kept/ripped their CD/Vynil collection or bought songs from their favorite indie musicians, you can end up with a pretty extensive library. This makes it a decent (and legal) alternative to sneaker-net piracy.

Isn't that still not considered legal?

Legality aside, this is the huge barrier of entry for most people, I'd think.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's been ruled you technically aren't even allowed to make digital backup copies of your media. There's just no world they'd go after you for that.

Since I'm German and pay an extra fee with every storage medium for it I sure am allowed to do just that. Even though they try to make it absurdly hard for you to do so.

I can even share it with friends and family, just not put it out for the whole world to use it.
