Law regarding fees on drives and the like: https://www.copydan-kulturplus.dk/presse/pressemeddelser/lovaendring-om-kompensation-for-privatkopiering-er-vedtaget-nye-medier-er-omfattet
The law regarding circumvention of copyright measures is part of the copyright law, more specifically §75c stk. 1 & stk. 4:
Stk. 2 also creates some draconian rules that basically prohibits you from creating tools that help others circumvent copyright protection.
Germany has a similar law and unless it was changed it is legal to circumvent ineffective technological measures which means if you can circumvent it it is ineffective, making the entire law kind of pointless, because how would you circumvent something that can't be circumvented.
The Danish word "effektiv" I believe carries the meaning "not amateurishly put together" so it might be more of a grey zone leaning into illegal still. Some might after all still call a vaccine effective if it "only" prevents 95% of infections against a certain virus and has a 2% risk of certain moderate side effects.
But interesting tid bit as it's also relevant in a Danish context. I didn't know about it.
