Thanks for sharing this. Now, I'd love to have some case law backing up this author's reading of the 
laws, but what he writes makes sense and seems to be OK real-world practices.

I found this article on the Stanford Copyright & Fair Use website interesting:

Scroll down to the section "Fair Use Preservation by Individuals and Libraries: 17 USC § 107"

They will not do the transfer for you unless you buy the vinyl, too.  You
buy the vinyl and they make your one permitted archive for you on CD.

I checked on the legality of this a while back and found no issues.  If
you know of some, please send me the relevant info. ASAP.
