There was no context, just "have you or someone in your household ever..." I don't know what the lawyers are or were thinking. After following recordingindusvspeop for some time, I've concluded that the lawyers involved are of questionable sanity and far less computer literate than I am. (And I consider myself a fairly knowledgeable user, but not an expert by any measure.)

As for "Hopefully they're not treading down the path that some insane music execs...," yes, that does seem to be exactly the case.
