> it is not an infringement for the owner of a copy of a computer program to make or authorize the making of another copy or adaptation of that computer program provided:
> (1) that such a new copy or adaptation is created as an essential step in the utilization of the computer program in conjunction with a machine and that it is used in no other manner
i.e. the owner of a copy of a computer program has the right to make more copies if necessary to use it (e.g. copy-to-RAM, copy to CPU cache) as long as they don't use those additional copies for any other purpose. That same section also gives you the right to make backups as long as you destroy them when giving up ownership of the original.
