Unfortunately copyright is way more complicated than anyone here likely
realizes. The average man can no longer have an informed opinion on what
may or may not be legal when it comes to copyright and the entertainment
industry is constantly complicating things further and trying to take away
more fair use rights. What you suggest above is what got MP3.com into
trouble. MP3 decided that if the end user owned the original CD they
should have access to an MP3 version on our servers. That turned out to be
very much not the case and it took a lot of lawyers and a judge to come to
that conclusion.
I know very well how complicated it has become, but it shouldn't be.
More people need to fork cash over to the EFF, so they can keep on
fighting that fight.
