It ABSOLUTELY says this. The case hinged on the subscriber, who has legal access rights to the material - in this case by merit of paying a subscription fee - makes his or her own copy. The physical location of the copy is irrelevant. The court points out several times that "the use of a distinct copy affects the transmit clause."
The distinct copy is private. It can't be anything but.
