  1. I know this videos about laser discs, but when talking about video cassettes, it's important to know the early 80s court case about recording shows off TV. Several companies took them to court for such. --- Sony Corp. of America v. Universal City Studios, Inc. Sony Corp. of America v. Universal City Studios, Inc., 464 U.S. 417 (1984), also known as the “Betamax case”, is a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States which ruled that the making of individual copies of complete television shows for purposes of time shifting does not constitute copyright infringement, but is fair use.[1][2] The Court also ruled that the manufacturers of home video recording devices, such as Betamax or other VCRs (referred to as VTRs in the case), cannot be liable for infringement. The case was a boon to the home video market, as it created a legal safe haven for the technology. - Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Corp._of_America_v._Universal_City_Studios,_Inc.

  2. But why was DVD a thing? They weren't commercially consumer recordable until the late 90s or later and were difficult to manage recording until computers allowed such. And then, mp3s and mp4s became a thing, so why did DVDs and blurays survive, even now?
