Living in Finland when I was a child, one of the hilights every week was a trip to the local library with mom. First the comic books, then novels, then the crazy amount of music as CD's that you were by law able to rip to your computer. The local library had a massive influence to my personal growth and if you needed some book, film or album, you just talked with the librarians and you got it in a couple of days.
Yes, the law is the same in Sweden. The local library homepage used to have instructions how to copy CD:s but can't find it any more after the update they did last year. Still legal though, we pay a fixed amount per hard drive or empty cd we buy for this.
Such a nice service.
