As far as I can judge, it's still allowed in Sweden -- national copyright laws allow a few copies of literary and artistic to be made for personal use. There are exceptions, of course, for things like computer software and works of sculpture and architecture, entire books, as well as the role of third parties.
Well, it might be the law, but if you are, for example, Virgiin Records, and put DRM on your CD so that it can't be transferred to an mp3 player, the company usurps the law and copyright convention for the last, oh, 50 years or so.

And as a buyer, Virgin Records won't get any more of my money - EVER - even if they change their approach.
