The idea is that they're not selling a copy, but the original along with a back-up that they've made for you in advance.

Theoretically, I believe that what they're doing is illegal under US copyright law-assuming they don't have permission from the copyright holders to do so. In practical terms it seems unlikely anybody will bother to prosecute them, as long as they restrict themselves to albums that are not otherwise available.
