Those copies are for personal use. You are not allowed to distribute those in any way. For example, you cannot legally copy a CD and give it to a friend.
In a similar way if I copy a manga and share it with anybody, it's illegal.
Here is the exact wording that appears in a manga.
No portion of this publication may be reproduced or transmitted, in any form or by any means, without the express written permission of <Publisher Name>. All rights reserved.
I think it is pretty clear.
