But the library is attempting to allow you to copy said discs.

What if you make a fair-use copy of the CD for playing in your car and the copy is stolen? If both you and the thief coinsidentally listen to the CD/copy at the same time who is the copyright infringer?

Actually, his library is making available copyrighted works to be used in private performances without compensating content creators. While I support the library doing this, I can't imagine it's legal.

Well, according to the content distributors, yes.

because it costs you money to get an inferior copy.Just like recording to VHS or tape. This is really different then perfect, digital reproductions at no cost to the person doing the copying...
