West 57th - Story about DAT cassettes and music industry 1987
Here is a December 1987 story from the CBS program West 57th about DAT cassettes and the worries from the music industry that DATs will lead to increased piracy. While DATs never really took off in the USA, except for professional uses and the live taping community, it's interesting to see the fear that these tapes prompted in the industry. And there's a funny little twist at the end of the story about another recordable format just around the corner... The more things change, the more they stay the same.
