>>In the US at least, fair use does not include a right to make personal backup copy.
While not "fair use" the library of congress which is empowered to make exemptions to DMCA has made such exemptions for Personal backup
Further the Copyright law only grants the Creator 5 Rights, these are around the public dissemination of the work, not the private use of the work. it is not a total control over the work like authoritarian copyright maximalists like yourself believe it to be
The Supreme Court has held in many contexts that non-distributed reproduction falls outside the control of copyright, so I can make as many PERSONAL copies of a work as I desire provided I never sell, gift, or distribute them in any way
I would love for you do show me in copyright law where it grants the right to control personal reproduction, as the copyright law is very clear about what rights it grants, it is all about distribution and performance
