It never does. Nor do the pseudo-scientific mumbo jumbo like "n-1 points of redundancy." The first person you allow to copy a backup you made for yourself, in the cloud or elsewhere, is the first person you have illegally distributed the content to, and the first infringing copy you produced.

It also ignores that indexed P2P is hardly the most effective means to backups. It's about the slowest, most arcane, and least efficient means; while you can access your backups, so can everyone else connecting to you, costing you bandwidth and slowing down your network. This is really such a stupid argument I'm surprised anyone is willing to make it.

There is never fair use in *distributing* digital content you may have purchased to someone else, and this is exactly what happens the moment anyone other than the original purchaser accesses the file.
