It's extremely unlikely that there will be any suit based on the mere act of making your own copy. All prior cases deal with distribution.

- isopede 4y agoThere already has been. The relevant case law is LLC v ReDigi: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitol_Records,_LLC_v._ReDigi_Inc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitol_Records,_LLC_v._ReDigi.... > On March 30, 2013, Judge Richard J. Sullivan ruled in favor of Capitol Records, explaining that the transfer of digital data from one storage medium to another constituted a violation of copyright, because the copy was ultimately an unauthorized reproduction, and therefore outside of the protection of the first-sale doctrine

Without distribution, the owner cannot claim damages. So making your own copy for your own use does not fall under this.
