When I think of the first days of the cassette recorder - I had my first one when I was 12. Shaped like a shoe box, had to hold a mic near the record player to record an album onto a cassette which you shared with your friends. But at least, between you, you could buy one album a week and record it for the others so they got to have a copy of it in albeit dubious quality.
Gradually as technology improved you had cassette recorders incorporated into stereo stack systems which meant you could record as many cassettes as you wanted for people.
I don't remember the men in suits threatening us then. But it would have been difficult for them to have found us in the first place. And also they didn't have greedy bastard asshole governments bending over and dropping their trousers to the the evil corporations and passing legislation to encourage greed.
Ah well. The more this goes on the less I feel like spending my money on CDs.
