I don't know of any such law. In the case of videotaping, there is a Supreme Court decision that makes it legal to copy for personal use. I don't know for certain if this extends to music and software CDs. I can see using that SC decision as the basis for an argument that one should be able to copy out-of-print materials for personal use, but I don't know that the law has ever found that to be OK. However, I'd not hesitate to make my own part. But I would be very careful not to let anyone else use it outside the complete set of parts that I owned. -- David W.
