That's an interesting example because 1 and 2 arrive at the same conclusion, but 2 might still want to signal themselves as being contrary to 1 (i.e. "It's not just that it's not harming anybody, but sharing information around freely is actually helping everybody!")
I agree with that, and you make a good point--it suggests that being contrarian doesn't require disagreeing with the position as disagreeing with the reasoning. In a lot of cases it'll amount to the same thing, or at least come off as the same thing, but the above is one where it doesn't.
