- SoftTalker 4y agoIt wasn’t cassette vs computer, it was the scale of the sharing. With tapes, sharing wasn’t really practical beyond a handful of friends. With Napster, you could share with the whole world.
- bombolo 4y ago> With tapes, sharing wasn’t really practical beyond a handful of friends. LOL. There were entire organizations doing copies.
- Clubber 4y agoI think the general rule back then was you couldn't make money off it. People would charge for the cost of the cassette or something like that. There were tons of bootlegs out there too.
