Well, as near as I can figure, nothing happens to the copy.  In fact, 
one time I was reading a book, and it was getting near the expiration 
date, so I made sure I copied the rest of the parts to my MP3 player 
before it expired.  I'm pretty sure I was still reading the book from my 
MP3 player after the book had expired.  Of course, once the book has 
expired, you can't bring the original up in the OverDrive Media Console 
or Windows Media Player, so you couldn't copy it anywhere else after 
that.  I haven't burned a DVD yet, but I would guess it would still work 
after the book has expired.
