Cluin, you need to read the thread before you post. I made clear much earlier that the circumstance you describe is completely legitimate. You bought the LP originally, it is yours to do with as you will, as long as it is for you and your household. Where you would be wrong (IMO) is if you burned that for all your friends and posted it to a site.

Petr, you seem to make a distinction base on who owns the rights when you say that it makes a difference if the artist is dead. Woody Gutherie is a good example of why your reasoning is flawed. His family protects those rights, as they are supporting the family with the proceeds of this, among other things. It is their right to do so, and conversely, you have no right to appropriate what rightfully belongs to them.
