It's pretty much the same thing as if you'd by a CD record and you decide to copy it in your PC in mp3 format even if you don't intend to share it. You paid for it you can use it however you want! So if you already own a PlayStation I don't really think it's a problem, unless of course the PS BIOS you're using is illegal.
