What are the legal ways to make copies of copyrighted materials, such as books and movies?
user
In the United States, the Copyright Act allows for copies of copyrighted materials to be made in certain cases. The act differentiates between making a copy for personal use and using copying machines or other technology to make multiple copies or distribute copies to others. Making a copy of a work for personal use is generally permitted, such as making a copy of a book for your own reading or owning a backup copy of movie. However, distributing copies or using copying machines requires permission from the copyright holder, unless it is being done as part of an authorized library loan program.
