I think you are posing the question to the wrong person (people). It is a good question but you should be posing it to your friend.
“if you said the internet is assur, how could you ask me to get these things off the internet for you? Then aren’t you asking me to do an aveira according to your thinking? If its assur for you wouldn’t it be assur for me? In that case if you ask me to do this, you are asking me to be over your Rav’s psak and thereby asking me to do an aveira? Should one friend ask another to do that then? I am confused.”
