This I think is the law change that made it illegal to make copies from "illegal copies". Before I am pretty sure that downloading was legal regardless of what you downloaded if it was for private use.

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.

Why do you think it is strange? When I last read the Berne convention it had some text mentioning that countries was allowed to make exceptions and I think they gave some examples.
