Technically thats not correct, its just very hard to enforce private use. For example, if you copy a movie, even for prvate use(except very specific circumstances) thats illegal, and people have been charged.

That said, the public release point is what I was thinking of anyway.

Technically, if you bought the movie, you could copy it for your own use. You just can't share it, which to your point is very hard to enforce for private use outside of the internet.

I'm thinking of fair use when I say "do whatever they want with copyright privately"
