Copyright law has been around forever- nothing new -. Very gray area. There is no clear answer. Music, Video, Print and software grapple with copyright too. Even registering is not always required - though it can have some effect on rights to sue. In specific cases Judges look for "intent". Usually going after big fish (just imagine what YouTube has to deal with!). However, class action suits can sweep up a lot of people who have to pay, generally smaller amounts. I am not up to speed on case law in the area. Remember those scary FBI beginnings to video copying :-).
