Again when it comes to the USA copyright law, it is about distribution.

A person who copies a specific work and does not distribute it is not breaking the law as far as I am aware.

That is why I'd be interested in seeing what laws have been broken.

It's certainly a DMCA violation if you broke any DRM to make that copy. That does not require distribution.
