1. He requested a free copy of me.

2. He demanded an apology from me.

3. What do you require from me?



Can you please check if the above sentences are all grammatical?

Unless he wanted a clone of you, sentence 1 is incorrect. It should read, like the other two correct sentences, "from" me.

"Of me" is also OK in #3. "From me" suggests providing some tangible-entity transfer, whereas "of me" would be a more intangible asset or quality. Context, as always, rules.
