That's the thing. It's illegal to back/copy *most* of your originals. Ethics aside, you are still in possession of an illegal piece of media.
The only difference is that by, at least, going out and buying the media you are paying the production company for the right to own the movie, although that does not authorize you to reproduce it, even for personal use, in all actuality.
