Could you provide pointers to the court decisions and bill mentioned above?
If placing something in RAM is considered making a copy, then it would be
nearly impossible to view any copyrighted material on the web without
copyright infringement. Further, viewing any document from any source (web,
cd-rom, other on-line services, etc) would be copyright infringement.
