It is in fact illegal for a third party to copy material, even if it is
for the owner of the LP for their own use.  You would be charging a fee
for this no doubt.  So commercialising the transaction taints it in the
copyright area.  As to whether you'd be prosecuted doing it for a mate at
cost is one thing.  If you offer it as a service, you'll be found out and
no doubt busted.

Good luck.
