The difference is the professional shop making a copy of a copyrighted piece. They are making money off of that service. We had people come in all the time with a Olan Mills portrait and we would refuse. We knew of a company that had a sweet little old grandma type go into a place for a copy of the Olan Mills portrait, and as she walked out with the copy, a lawyer walked in, and handed the company a lawsuit, that they lost. That copy cost them 200 grand. The simple way, call Olan Mills, tell them the truth that the portrait is several years old. They don't have the negatives, so they send a copyright release. We are happy, and the customer is happy.
Copying music or a CD is for friends is almost impossible to go after since there is usually no profit, and it is hard to prove where it was done.
I have no skin in the game here. I am just suggesting any shop that sees the poster will refuse it. Maybe your luck will be different.
