Format-shifting: copying from one 'format' to another for private use

People who own certain types of material are allowed to make a copy of that material, for private and domestic use, into certain other 'formats', such as from a hard copy into a digital copy or vice versa. The provision does not apply if the person:

• has already made a copy in that format
• commercially trades in the copy or disposes of the original
• makes a copy for someone else or makes a copy from a copy owned by someone else.
