It's also interesting to note that is specifically excludes "entire books" and "digital copies of digital sources". That would suggest that it's legal to (for example) record from the radio, but it's not legal to copy a CD, which is a digital source.

You and Paul may be right about this, even though it would mean the use of the term would be redundant, as I thought this was accomplished by this passage:
This paragraph does not give right to make copies of a work when the copy
that is the real master produced or made available to the public
in violation of § 2 . The Act (2005: 359).
Perhaps we have a Swedish lawyer or someone else familiar with the Swedish law who can comment. It is a most interesting and strange provision which I doubt is replicated elsewhere in the world. Then again, I was surprised to find it in Sweden, hence my query as to Tompe's sources. Once again, my thanks to Tompe for providing the link.
