    It’s odd to me that there are places that would consider that piracy

    In my country (the Netherlands), to my knowledge, you have the right to do whatever you like with your copy of a movie as long as you don’t distribute it.
    That includes ripping it, and putting the mkv on your personal server. That is precisely what the home-copy tax is for afterall…

      Depending on where you live, I believe the loop hole is that ripping media for personal use is legal but breaking the DRM and/or sharing the DRM breaking program is illegal.
