I am within my rights to copy one chapter of a book, or one article from a magazine. That is what British law defines as "fair use". Copying an entire book is not fair use, and is a copyright violation (where I live).

And if I subsequently decide to sell my original book, I still have the right to keep this copy, under current legislation.

Really? That does surprise me, I must say. So you can buy a CD, make a copy of it, and then sell the original, while keeping the copy yourself? I'm pretty sure that I couldn't legally do that in the UK. In fact I know I couldn't, since I couldn't legally copy the CD in the first place.
