I shouldn't try to speak for a whole generation, you are right. The background of being told it was legal to tape movies from tv and songs from the radio and trade them, as long as we didn't charge money, and then when the BBSs and then internet apeared being told those rules didn't apply anymore made many of us decide we were not responsible for technology invalidating the business model of corporations that shared so little with those whose creations they profited from. The legality of it meant little given its unenforceable nature.
