i heard people saying stuff like if a libruary is filled with copyright material you can still make photocopies of the books of personal use. same thing with downloading music.

Here is the actual language:

“I cannot see a real difference between a library that places a photocopy machine in a room full of copyrighted material and a computer user that places a personal copy on a shared directory linked to a P2P service.” The mere fact of placing a copy where it can be found by another user, he said, “does not amount to distribution.”
