If this is the law, it simply makes no sense. Any digital copy I make of an LP/CD, VHS tape, or physical book is not going to be the same as a commercially sold version. So just the fact that I have it in my possession likely means I had a "legit" copy to start with. At least that should be the presumption; I should not have to prove my innocence.
