You cannot be sure that it helps if you are noncommersial. There are a lot of cases in Sweden about copying on workplaces, hospitals, hotels and so on. Not digital copying cases but playing of music for all on a workplace. Some of the cases went to Supreme court in Sweden and was won by the copyrightholders organisations.

Copying is for private use in one copy or some for the family. If you copy on a workplace is seems to be business (at least in Swedeish court) even if it is a hospital own by the government.

To download a pdf-file in an office to release it on the companies intranet is an infringement everywhere in the world.
