Copyright law (including the Digital Agenda Act) basically says that you 
can't do anything with other people's copyrighted intellectual property. 
  If it seems reasonable, logical or fun, it's probably illegal.

But seriously, as I read it, you can't communicate, adapt or convert 
copyrighted material without permission if it's more than a tiny amount 
of the original.
