No, not quite true. A DAT recorder can infinitely copy the same CD BUT it can not copy such a digital copy to another DAT recorder. So home taping and making a few copies for friends will still be possible. Making lots of copies for illegal commercial purposes has become inattractive though. An recording on a DAT from an analog source can be digitally copied twice, i.e. a digital copy of a digital copy of an analog recording on a DAT is possible, any further digital copying of this third generation is not. Professional machines for recording purposes in studios will not have this restriction. Jan Postma janpo@dts.philips.nl
