Why Rip Games That You Own?

Somebody asked me why I rip games that I own, but unfortunately that thread was closed before I had a chance to respond. Ripping games that you own has many benefits.

1) Faster performance on emulators.
2) If your medium becomes damaged, then you have a backup copy.
3) If you rip a console game, and use an emulator, you don't have to tie up the television at home.
4) You don't have to worry much about your game getting lost or stolen.

I think those are totally legitimate reasons to rip games, and if I remeber correctly, in nearly all software licences, you are allowed one backup copy per licensed copy, as long as you don't distribute them illegally.
