As long as all temporary copies are deleted so there's no element of redistribution then there's no problem. Once you own a legal copyright to the material what you do with it, as long as it's not unlicensed distribution, is your business.

Actually, as a consumer, you own the right to the COPY of the work you purchased. That has been extended to allow you to make a copy for your personal use.

In the case before this court, the defendant WAS redistributing COPIES of the work, not the original work, or even a faithful COPY of that work. By redistributing COPIES of the work, they were in violation of the copyright laws. It's that simple.
