I can imagine that if person A offered copying music in A's possession
to others then that would be a commercial transaction and thus
prohibited. However if person B wishes to transcribe music in person
B's possession for B's personal use only, and uses A's service because
of its superior technology... IANAL obviously, but it sounds like an
interesting case.
