Warning: I really have no idea, so don't put too much into this 
observation.

I was just intrigued by the fact that the customer is supposed to 
supply their own music. My interpretation of this is that its OK to do 
it since the "customer" is using music they purchased for personal use 
-just hiring someone else to do it. Something like, it would be OK for 
me to hire someone (like my daughter :- ) to rip a stack of my CDs into 
iTunes for my personal use (I'm the customer, she's the contractor). I 
don't know if doing it that way really gets around the legal hurdles or 
not.

Is that what you were referring to?
