What I do know is many of us are angry that the record companies took so long to do this. 14 years ago when I first entered the industry, I knew musicans who were angry that companies actually encouraged theft by making blank cassettes.
For 90% of users, what else is a blank cassette for, other than stealing music?
Each major record company also made tape players, and CD players. Sony developed the minidisk and Phillips/Polygram (now by Vivendi/Universal) developed the digital cassette. Both of which conceivably would have encouraged piracy.
Some artists I knew were trying to get companies in a conflict of interest situation to get out of their contracts.
