Naturally, this was never a problem as who wanted to scan an entire book and leave that in the house somewhere?? Software has another rule, you are allowed to make 1 copy of it (hey, and what about copy protection! another thing not anticipated...)

That would be The Netherlands, I assume
The Danish laws are a bit more liberal - and the British a bit more restrictive, AFAIK.
