It's actually the artists who can sue since it's their work being distributed. The distributor might have a fair use argument since the purpose is artistic preservation and the artists clearly never intended to profit off the songs. If a trendy DJ remixed one and it saw commercial success, the original artist might have a case. | ||||||||

The fair use exception for preservation doesn't give them the master or mechanical rights needed to stream them to other people. | ||||||||
