[ILL-L] Copyright question for phono-disks

[Andrew Shuping]

My understanding is it would break copyright.  You can transfer items to
different medium formats only when the original format, or the equipment to
play that format, is no longer being used, like 5 1/4 disk that we all used
to carry around.  Since LP players still exist it would be breaking
copyright.
