You are of course correct in what you are saying, and the answer to those two questions are no. However, if you turn around and then sell the car (perform one of the exclusive rights granted to copyright holders), then you become liable (remember that for copyright, not knowing that you did something wrong, is not an excuse). Now, since most homeuser are endusers, this is not a problem. But for companies that download once, install many times, this is certainly a problem, since they are also funtioning as distributors.
