You may wish to re-read the AHRA - it allows copies of works *you* have
bought, not anyone else. The idea is that it's "reasonable" to let someone
take a copy of something they've bought and put it onto another medium (be
it MD, CDR, tape, whatever) for their personal use. The idea is that you're
not ripping anyone off because you're not using both copies at once - it'd
be unreasonable to expect someone to re-buy their music on MD.
It doesn't give you the right to copy stuff bought by others. In effect, the
AHRA extends your rights to be able to tranfer recordings between mediums
for *your* use.
