I ain't a lawyer either ;)

People make copies, not computers.   If you download something, one could
view it as you are instructing the copy to be made.  Do people that get
busted for making copies end up paying fees on the copies others got from
them or from the ones in their possession?  I believe it's usually the
latter.
