What's important about this is that it's being offered through Amazon. As a seller on Amazon, I'm aware of how tightly run a ship it is from a legal standpoint. The implication is that what some of us have been doing has made it past their legal team- if a customer owns it, even if it's just been purchased and still on the seller's premises, that it is legal to make a copy of what is now his recording for him.
