Seems to be quite reasonable to me. Widespread use without permission, doesn't establish a precedent - unless a court decides this - one hasn't yet. On the other hand, 'routinely granted' is the key phrase innit?
Then to quote from the link: 'If I understand what the RIAA is saying, "perfectly lawful" means "lawful until we change our mind." ' Well, I think you'd have to x Bush by about 29.7 before you reached the political climate in which some authorities thought they could sucessfully go after people ripping CDs for their own use. It's possible, but unlikely I feel.
