We have a specalist mailing list, legal-talk, to discuss these matters.

However, in this particular question you are unlikely to find a firm 
answer, given that the question whether temporary files constitute a 
proper manifestation of data or are just an implementation detail of an 
algorithm is something that lots of lawyers are discussing (see current 
cases about streaming media and if consumers need a copyright license).
