Wtf, is this legit? Never seen it before.
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?
It was used in only one VHS tape called Cat Sitter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEDxj-0Hbao
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.
Okay, then plass edit the post title to reflect that. People not opening the comments may thing this is real...
We're you worried you may damage your new VHS tapes by copying them with your vcr?
Was gonna say, smells like bullshit.
