The same is true in Belgium. But i heard there is a strange benefit: You are allowed to copy anything if the source is legally yours at the time of copying.

So person A lends some music to person B, person B copies it and returns the original to A. This scenario is legal. The nice thing is person A can be a library. Now if person A makes a copy and gives it to person B, this is illegal, even if the end result is identical. Bits have color.
