"making a backup copy" assumes you are copying the work who's rights you've purchased (i.e. making a copy of the cd you've purchased, which is in your possession),.. Not downloading it where ever/whenever you want with the loose argument that you purchased it 20 years ago. "Making a backup copy" is not the same as "obtaining a backup copy"
