Fair Use Guideline:
If you have a legally-purchased part which is lost, destroyed, or otherwise not available, and you have a performance coming up immediately, you may make a photocopy of that part as long as you have ordered a REPLACEMENT.
So by extension of this very specific and limited exception, it should be legal for someone else to make you a photocopy (or loan you an original so you can make it) if you no longer have an original to photocopy, as long as a replacement has been ordered and as long as the copy is destroyed after the performance.

The law, of course, does not take into consideration the case of music which has been allowed to go permanently out of print, for which, therefore, a replacement copy cannot be delivered!
===========
I could use a little quasi-legal help. I have been told by Eble,
Frank, et al. that the "Short Lecture On the Clarinet" by Bolcom is
available only as an "on-demand" (whatever that means) item, and
takes at least 3-4 weeks to get. I will order it, but I really need
it sooner if I'm going to perform it in 5 weeks! How can I get hold
of a xerox of it? I believe that it is legal to use a copy of the
work, as long as the original is on order (probably this loophole was
put in for just this kind of situation). Thanks all...
