They're demonstrating that it's practically impossible for an average person to NOT run afoul of copyright law during natural everyday activities.

  I think this is the even bigger story. If they did it on purpose, then it's hypocrisy. If it was by accident then it proves how hard is it to be compliant with the law 24/7. Personally, I think a law with high consequences shouldn't be something you can accidentally break. I can understand something like accidentally going over the speed limit (within reason) in a car and getting a citation, but copyright laws allow for big fines and jail time.

    The legal system suffers from sclerosis from all these laws being piled on top of each other. Lawmakers aren't interested in refactoring. :P
