Actually, no.
(1) The making of a copy of a work, other than a computer program, by an individual does not infringe copyright in the work provided that the copy—
(a)is a copy of—
(i)the individual’s own copy of the work, or
(ii)a personal copy of the work made by the individual,
This isn't very explicit and could be read that as long as it is your own copy services like 1dollarscan would be legal - 1)a)(i)
At worst the copy you get back would be legal while, paradoxically, 1dollarscan may have committed copyright infringement
