My memory is pretty hazy about this one, but wasn't there a big commotion about 10 years ago when a new EU copyright directive was about to outlaw temporary copies, such as browser cache files, as a breach of copyright. Not explicitly, but copying was defined very broadly. Thankfully, the directive reformulated so the disaster was narrowly averted.
I don't know any US law specifics or precedents about this aspect, though.
