WSJ.com - Studios See Big Rise In Estimates of Losses To Movie Piracy

WSJ.com - Studios See Big Rise In Estimates of Losses To Movie Piracy:

"An additional $529 million in losses came from consumers making copies of legitimate films they bought on DVD or VHS."

I stopped reading right there, they count legally protected "fair use" back-up copies as being a loss due to pirates? How do you figure that? Did you think I was going to buy 2 copies just in case 1 got scratched? I quit going to movies and only watch them on HBO, why don't you count that as a loss too?
