Been wondering that for a long time as well. To my (limited) understanding, you do indeed have the right to make 1 copy for personal use.
Used to make images from the discs and use those to play the game. When content was still being streamed from the disc, it helped loading times a good deal, and the physical copy could be safely stored.
Still possible nowadays, though it is made increasingly diffcult, and often requires that you use tools that are directly linked to piracy. Gave up on it years ago, though I still have a big collection of images from older (legally purchased) games.
Never seen that phone-based system used, though I could swear I heared about it before.
