From other responses, it seems you may be able to make your own copy.  I’d like to put forth another idea that may work.

A while back I wanted to make a mix CD for my sister, but I wanted it professionally done with the copyright done right.  I went to my local Christian music store and they made the CD for me.  All they needed to know was the name of the song and the name of the album it was on.  It cost me about $20 for 10 songs – professionally labeled and everything.  If religious music stores can do this, surely secular music stores can, as well.

Subject: [ALCTS-acqnet] Question about CD circulation and copyright

I'm fairly certain I know the answer to this, but I wanted to get a more official verdict.

We circulate a particular 6-CD set of Frank Sinatra music that has recently lost one of the discs.  The set is now out of print, so I can't afford to purchase another set at the now "collectible" rate prices.  I do have access to the music from the lost CD, however, and someone suggested I simply make a copy of that lost CD content and circulate with the other 5 official CD's.

This would obviously solve our problem of having an incomplete set - and we never circulate incomplete sets - but I'm fairly certain I would not be allowed to do this.

If you, or anyone you're aware of, can give me a more official answer to this question, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you,

Peter
