Like using music from a video game/film in a video that isn’t published on the internet, or using it as a ringtone in phones, or using voice lines from a video game as notification sounds. (There are a lot of other uses that I won’t mention here)

Copyright infringement is committed by the provider, not the receiver. If you’re just an end-user of the content, they can’t really go after you unless you acquired it via a peer-to-peer network and also seeded it to others. (And they have, in fact, infamously gone after people for that.)
That was more common in the US than in other jurisdictions. In Canada, they capped out torrenting at $500 for all instances prior to the suit, which means the lawyers were losing money for the copyright holders. Also, it was determined that if you didn’t store the files, i.e., streaming, it wasn’t illegal at all. After that, I stopped hearing about non-commercial copyright infringement cases in Canada (and I can’t legally justify torrenting).
