Under US copyright law, the maximum capacity of storage that you can use to store copyrighted materials in a digital format without permission from the copyright owner is 10 percent or 1,000 megabytes whichever is greater. Additionally, this limit does not apply to archival materials or libraries, educational institutions or certain governmental departments and agencies.

According to current copyright laws, you can store up to 10% of a given work in a digital format. This means that if you come across a book or other copyrighted work with roughly 20 chapters, you can legally store only one chapter in a digital format. Additionally, it is important to note that even within this limitation there are certain exceptions. For example, educational use generally counts as fair use and does not break the copyright law, allowing for storage of more than 10% of a given work without permission from the copyright holder.
