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
God dammit. I have to use my phone from now on. Video playback is messed up on my laptop 😭
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
I really surprised I didn't get rickrolled.
