But digitizing your own content isn’t illegal you have the right to backups. It’s when you choose to distribute those copies to people who did not pay for the original product that you get in trouble. This argument makes no sense.

Buying physical media is actually only buying a limited license to use that media yourself, and ripping the content to digitize/backup is technically against the the terms of that license in many cases. It’s ridiculous and unenforceable, but true.
