I don't think it is fundamentally the same, especially that it is not a technical argument, but a legal one. With fragmented data, a node runner does not event know where the data is stored and how to read it without the extra piece of software. With a contiguous chunk, it is readily obtainable. To me, it seems that it might make a huge difference in court. I'm not a lawyer, so I might be mistaken, but I haven't seen a serious analysis (citing relevant EU/US legislation) to date.
