It sound pretty unlawful to me but I see many people do it over the Internet. They scan books, encode songs and distribute them. Also they say "anyone who download this file must own the actual book/CD, otherwise you have to delete the file within 24 hours".
Well, those distributors are surely not copyright holders. Do they have the right to do this? Is there really this kind of law exist? (It would be great if someone could show me links to legal documents related to this.)

Nope, still illegal. It's like people used to say they could make copyrighted products but only for their own home use.

Copying copyrighted materials is not illegal only if for personal use and not for commercial sale.
