Isn't that utter nonsense and misuse? Video tape was invented and made
for recording and copying video. It was never meant to be a medium for
selling prerecorded media.

This kind of nonsense never took hold for audio tapes, though it did
later for audio cassettes. This too shows the degradation and fall from
active and creative leisure time into pure passive consumerism. It all
happened, or most of it, in my lifetime and it seems to be accelerating.
