You are, certainly, with your individual copy. What these companies did was to alter content without the permission of the copyright holder, for resale purposes. Paying for a copy of the original doesn't cover the businesses in this case, since permission was never obtained.

If the two actions of:

  1. Buying a legal copy of a movie
  2. Editing that copy for content, or paying a business to do it for you
...are both legal, then why is it a violation of copyright law to perform both actions at the same time, and with the same company?
