Can someone explain why, legally, Keith can't just photocopy or re- engrave the deteriorating parts?

If I buy a CD, I have the legal right to rip it to my iPod, back it up to my hard drive, burn a second copy for personal use, etc. If I buy a piece of software, I have the legal right to make a backup copy of my installation CD in case the original gets damaged. Why does copyright law permit "fair use" backups in these cases, but prohibit the duplication of sheet music for backup purposes?
