That's arguable. It may be the common use, but not everyone uses burners for copying movies or even remotely illegal activity.
I use my burner mostly for burning legal copies of software (e.g. Linux), music from the games that I own, or non-commercial movies (e.g. machinima). I don't even use my burner for backing up my data, especially since I heard that CD-R's aren't nearly as reliable as advertised (~2 years vs. 100 years). I'd say the most borderline thing I've used it for was to copy a few owned commercial movies so I could convert them into DPG format and watch them on my DS, but never to burn copies.
