My hope is that enough people see what the IA is doing here and how ridiculous the claims of these record executives are, and are able to create those kinds of exceptions. (Maybe it will produce a turn in intellectual property rights which have for decades been moving in the direction of more restrictions and longer terms.)

That was a big deal and swept a lot of 78s in. The revised law means the rest of the 78 rpm period will be swept in over the next 20 years. So that helped the Library of Congress and others who already had digitizations. LOC did a limited streaming version with arrange permission.
