jokes aside, this would make a mildly interesting SCP. like a cognitohazard but for any kind of electronic recording device
actually it could be useful for preventing electronic spread of other replicable infohazards. by playing the uncopyable tape(s) on a loop in proximity to the infohazard such that any potential recorder would also capture the uncopyable tape(s), transmission would be prevented as the recorder would simply be destroyed
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.
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.

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?
Sort of…
Was gonna say, smells like bullshit.
