> I'm pretty sure the 'home copy' law doesn't allow you to copy stuff from the library

But it does. :)

It is explained here: http://www.iusmentis.com/auteursrecht/nl/thuiskopie/ but it is in Dutch. It states that: - You may make only a few copies but it's unspecified how many that is.

- The copy has to be for personal use

- You may make the copy for someone else, but this is not true for music

- You don't have to own the material you want to copy

- There are some exceptions, namely electronic databases (paper database are allowed), physical structures (no copying other buildings please!) and computer software
