Here is a Robert Cringely commentary.


Amoeba Music’s Vinyl Vaults is no Napster despite what musicians say
Well something Napster-like is emerging from Amoeba Music, the huge pre-owned music and video stores in Berkeley, San Francisco and Los Angeles and some musicians and vinyl junkies are up in arms about it, though I can’t understand why.

At some point, once the label and RIAA lawyers get involved, Amoeba will wind up modifying their 'copyright agreement'. What they are doing is providing a service for the collector market, and charging for it, but they need to be more proactive regarding paying the original copyright holders/licensees. Since they are essentially copying off vinyl, all the information they need is on the label...just like radio stations used to do, they need to log this data and report it.
