Does that mean if I visited a website in '99, then turned off the computer and haved turned it back on, that I can be sued for having the page in cache?
No it doesn't.
You can be sued if you publish the cache for everyone to see, which is what the Web Archive has done
Actually, it does. You can be sued for anything. I can claim that you're breathing in oxygen that I already claimed as my own, but that doesn't mean I'll win.
As for your European statistics, correlation does not imply causation. Furthermore, American TV shows plenty of sex on television - MTV, soap operas, the Super Bowl, etc. Do you have anything to support that TV in Switerland is racier than TV here? Or TV in Japan? Here, you can get hardcore pornography delivered to your TV in three clicks. I'm not sure I accept your premise that this country is less "sexually permissive" than Europe.
Trust me, I was born and raised in St. Louis and lived for 4 years in Germany, they are more accepting of sex over there. There is nudity on billboards, sex shops with nude posters in the windows, there was even a butter commercial I saw that had a naked woman spreading butter on bread. I don't mean naked like in U.S. shampoo commercials, I mean you could see everything. And nobody thinks anything of it, they are more accepting.
Of course that's copyright infringement, because you're not allowed to sell copyrighted material.
But if you and however many other people each photocopied ONE page of the book and then GAVE it away, then there would be no copyright violation.
I actually asked a girl at a club how she would rate me on a scale of 3 to 18. She said 17 so I pulled out a 20 sider and rolled. Then I said I passed my charisma check so you have to dance with me. It actually worked!
That's what happens when you start the night with drinking and D&D before going to the club.

could get you sued, then. I guess.
Yep, it's the only place to go for honest news.
