I don't think these records meet the standard definition of 'media' anyway. This is really just data that can be used for cataloguing purposes and other media custodian/librarian applications.

Given that the LoC has made it their goal to archive at least one copy of everything, I think they are not quite the right people to fall into your anti-copyright cross hairs. However, I do strongly agree with your overall premises.

I don't think the op has anything against the LoC. More like they are lamenting that the LoC has its hands tied.
