"I suppose a system whereby you could sell or give away a copy so long as you do not retain a copy yourself might work, but how in the world would one enforce that?"
How would the enforcers know that all of the lps or cds sold were not copied?

They don't. Those cats are out of the bag for the most part now that we can rip CDs and record LPs in hi-res digital. But LPs and CDs to cassette tape are inherently inferior, and I suspect people are not flocking out the buy LPs so they can digitize them, though of course that does happen.
My point really is that it's never been legal to make copies before selling or gifting, and as that has become easier and easier, it seems fair to try to stem the flow at some point. And, it's not necessarily a "rip off" when compared to the old physical media because of what you get in return.
Personally, I still buy LPs and CDs. I rip the CDs losslessly for convenience. I have not yet recorded my LPs because of then hassle involved.

"If you are the owner of a new stereophonic system, this record will play with even more brilliant true-to-life fidelity. In short, you can purchase this record with no fear of its becoming obsolete in the future."
One should be able to buy and sell used digital downloads as well.
