(mh.. is this legal, because you avoid the copy protection?)

As long as you don't share it with anyone, I wouldn't think about it too much.
For most cases, it is indeed illegal to "avoid copy protection", but you legally bought it from Amazon(?) (a trustworthy reseller) and you're not sharing your own copy with anyone

Personally, if I rip something for my own use (music / movies that I own) and later sell the original copies, I delete the ripped files. No harm caused to anyone.

This is just my opinion as an individual.
