Danish copyright law is an almost verbatim copy of the US DMCA and I think it should be rebuild from the ground up. It makes me a criminal even though I don't feel like one.

AFAIK the exception is if you don't have hardware to play/wiew your file. Since I have a sony Reader, I couldn't use any of the file formats offered on that, but I did have the opportunity to use it on my computer. Silly, isn't it? The current copyright is really made with media files (music and video) in mind, not books. I mean, it is legal to make a make a photocopy (analogue copy) of a book I borrow, but only legal to make a digital copy of the book if I own it. The first instance is much easier and will probably give me the copy with the least errors.
I'll look into the site you linked to, tomorrow. Thanks for the info
