I heard of 53 some-odd owners of Laszlo Polgar's Chess: 5334 problems
getting together and making a composite PGN file of the problems from the
book. There doesn't seem to be any problem with copyright, as you are
allowed to reproduce a printed item you own for personal use...

Copyright laws are different in different countries but at least in
Finland, where I live, yes, you can copy, but you are not allowed to
distribute the data *if* a collection of chess positions is protected by
copyright laws. Is such a collection protected? I just don't know.

I have the book and I really would like have it as a file, too. It would
be more useful as a studying tool.
