So what does personal archiving mean? Storing it and never consuming it? Kind of a non-sequitur from you here.

  > So what does personal archiving mean? Insofar as it maps to anything that has special status in copyright law distinct from making a copyright-violating unauthorized copy, it means making a copy of a computer program (not any other kind of work, such as an audiovisual recording) of which you own a physical copy to safeguard against the risk of destruction, media failure, etc., of the original copy. ("Personal archiving" is also commonly used to refer to making backup copies of one's own works and documentation that one owns that is not creative work subject to copyright, but that is less relevant here.)
