Is lending a friend a DVD a copyright violation?

Is it? Just thinking about something I said in another thread about downloading a movie from someone and it being a copyright violation. Well, if I buy a movie on DVD and lend it to a friend to watch, is that also the same thing? Even if he's going to give it back and not make copies of it?

What if I downloaded a movie, watched it, then re-uploaded it onto my server and deleted it from my HD? Isn't that basically the same thing?

Ruling please...
