Sorry, I live in the UK. US legislation is not applicable here. Note
also that that within this legislation area there is no such thing as
software copyright.

Indeed. And your refusal to accept that research is not always bad may
affect my life. Your logic, not mine.

For $YOURDEITY's sake, when reading a post on a newsgroup, an email or a
page on the intarwebs, you have sent a publicly readable request for
such information.
If a policeman notes that you consistently visit different banks and/or
loiter near ATMs, he cannot be criticised for suspecting that you may be
engaged in or planning to be engaged in illegal activity.
Ditto those who monitor the webs.

That is not what I said.
I will give my life to defend your existence. I will, however, continue
to watch you; if I detect a threat to me then I will seek to nullify it.
My actions will always stop short of ending your life.
