Especially the bit that says:-

Quote......

The most important, and the most contentious permitted act in UK copyright
law is “fair dealing” .
Fair dealing is a concept which originated in the Copyright Act of 1911 and
it is limited to those countries whose copyright law is based on or
influenced by that Act —mainly former countries of the British Empire.

It is quite different both from the “ fair use ” provision in US copyright
law, and the “ private use ” provisions of some Continental jurisdictions.

It cannot be emphasised too strongly that neither fair use nor private use
apply in the UK; anyone who claims that a particular use is “OK” either
because it is “fair use” or because it is “for personal use” is (at least in
law) plain wrong. (The use in question may of course be permitted by some
other provision of the law, for example it may be fair dealing). UK Internet
users should particularly beware copyright advice from the United States,
where the fair use doctrine has very wide applicability, for Americans are
often prone to forget that there is a world, and a whole body of different
law, beyond their shores.

So let's not have any more of the "bollocks" response (I do love a reasoned
argument) before you check out this page.
Yes under UK law copying a file of a disc into RAM is a breach of the act.

Remember that copyright infringement is not a criminal offence but a civil
one that is it allows some on to sue you.
