Agreed. It's also worth mentioning that you can't get a driver's license without knowing what a speed limit is (and you've probably known about them for quite a while beforehand thanks to the myriad SPEED LIMIT signs set along roads all over the place). In Pennsylvania, you'll fail your driving test if you break a speed limit, and I'd think that other states would have the same policy. Meanwhile, I've never heard of a person having to demonstrate an understanding of copyright law in order to get Internet access. There isn't a standard handbook of IP law that gets passed out to new ISP account holders. You don't see lots of signs explaining copyright laws popping up in any sort of application that you might be able to use to violate them. (Various entertainment industries have created ad campaigns to attempt to educate people, but that's not analogous to the speed limit signs and driver's exams because the ads are uncommon, and you're not forced to watch them while you're online.)
Furthermore, IP law can be very confusing to people who never learned its finer points. They're aware that they can listen to music on the radio and borrow CD's from the library as much as they want and never pay a cent for the privilege. They have no idea that radio stations and libraries must pay for the privilege of sharing music in such a fashion, so they don't understand why downloading the same music from a P2P network is any different, and they might not learn until they get in trouble for it. One of the defendants in the first wave of RIAA lawsuits thought that purchasing Kazaa gave her legal access to the music on that network. This seems to be a pretty clear indication that she thought of Kazaa as a newfangled sort of radio.
You might use more fat as a substrate during low-intensity exercise, but that doesn't mean you'll lose more bodyfat overall. The 1994 Tremblay study demonstrated that high-intensity interval training, which burns mainly glycogen during the workout, induces bodyfat loss much more efficiently than endurance cardio even though fewer calories are burned overall. This article provides an overview of the study and its results.
