Are you sure? I admit I have no clue about Norwegian copyright law but I assume it is similar to Swedish. In Sweden you are also allowed to make copies and also distribute them to close friends and family. However, there is also a restriction in the number of such copies, you can only make a few. So even if you have a very large family and you are allowed to give family members such copies, you can't do it to all of them. No idea if the Norwegian copyright law has the same restrictions, but it is work checking.
There are three types of people in the world. Those who can count and those who can't.
