I think that the Napster case has dispelled the most common myth about copyright. I think most people assumed that if you are not selling or you are giving away copyrighted material that it isn't a violation. Most people have recorded movies or television programs and given them to other people, copied software for a friend, etc. I don't think most people even thought about copyrights as they were doing these things until the RIAA cases.
