Yes, you are denying the copyright holder an opportunity to sell to your friend! The copy you made is an illegal copy.

Note: it is not a violation if you gave your friend the original copy that you bought (as no new copy was generated by you).

Can you exhibit "stolen" artHi, me and four other artists are going to have an exhibition. Now I found out that one of the artists copied their art 1:1 from a few Instagram artists. Should I tell the person who organizes the exhibition?

If you copy another artists' work it is illegal to sell it as your own without permission from the original artist as this would infringe their copyright. if the artwork is original to the artist on Instagram that your friend copied, then yes, you must tell them that you have copied it and selling it. The original artist may deny the sale or want some type of compensation.

If you are driving a friend's car and cause a traffic violation how do you cover the fine without getting the violation on your friend's name?

the person driving the car would get the ticket so it wouldn't be your friend if you were the one behind the wheel. That is why the police officer asks the driver for their license. The driver's license # is how the Dept of Motor Vehicles finds out who actually got the ticket. Remember, the driver caused the violation, not the car.
