That is where digital really shines! The ability to clone recordings
is the best thing about digital. A friend of mine has an old Sony DAT
with SCMS, and he recently bought a copy code stripper to go with it.
Now his DAT is actually useful for something. I suggested that he
might do well to sell the SCMS machine, and buy a pro unit without
the SCMS BS, but he didn't want to spend the scratch for one. Take care.
