"Common sense?"
And as Albert Einstein noted, common sense tells us the world is flat. 
As for your other observations, each one is taught to any potential infringers long before they even have the opportunity to infringe. When you test for a driver's license, you're told not to speed. When you're hired by a company they teach you how to handle their money. The third example is learned through repeated, intensive exposure by the culture at large (family, religion, media, etc.).
As for downloading music, unless someone spends enough time immersed in a culture where such practices are discussed regularly, there are no explained rules as to what's legal and what's not and for many noobs, I can see justifiable confusion over where the line (if any) is drawn. |
