      no. According to the wiki, It was just used for fearmongering as dissuade pirates.

        Yeah obviously I mean I know it couldn’t work, but I’ve never even heard of this as a copy protection method. What was it used on? Like Hollywood?

            I really surprised I didn’t get rickrolled.

        Yeah. Playing and recording uses the same mechanism in a VCR. Writing uses a different method but it would be on the second tape. Unless you tried to record over the tape which I don’t think works on non-recordable anyways.

          We’re you worried you may damage your new VHS tapes by copying them with your vcr?

    These things actually work. I once tried to copy a KTC protected VHS and it ended up breaking my cd drive beyond repair

    Isn’t this easily bypassable by adding a recording device between the vcr and the display
