Every public or school library in the country is filled with copyrighted works, and copy machines. The quality of the copies or the speed with which they can be made are not what determines if it violates copyright. The "fair use" provisions, when it comes down to it, are a matter of opinion. I don't see that this machine changes anything, really. Copyright law is a real challenge in the digital age, but the truth is, these are very old issues.
