Huh?  That's not part of the AHRA as you imply it is, see
http://www.hrrc.org/ahra.html for the full text. Here's a big clue,
'phonorecords' is a little dated language don't you think?

The text you quote doesn't distinguish whether you own an album or not
(neither does the AHRA).  The text you quote implies any copying is
illegal.  As you say, "note the words 'exclusive rights'".
