That's like saying you don't need a law against me beating you to death, just lock yourself in your house and never go out.

Selling has nothing to do with it. Not even any sort of publication is not required for your work have copyright protection.
But even if you DO publish or sell your work (or someone just happened to see it over your shoulder while you were editing it) copyright laws protect your right to not have anyone ELSE publish or sell your work without your permission.
