My first acy of piracy, tho I did not know it at the time, was recording songs from the radio to blank cassettes.
That wasn’t piracy. That was fair use.
~~I don't think that's how Fair Use works.~~
~~...by which I mean, it's not.~~
Not that it really matters. Much like those idiotic FBI warnings on media. I'm in the UK and seeing them annoys me no end. The pirated stuff doesn't have the warning! I bought it! Fuck off! Also you have no jurisdiction, you arrogant twats.

This is video recording of broadcast media, but is the same idea as audio recording broadcast media.
I stand corrected!
I was aware of the ruling but not of the fair use defence.
If only we could steal cars that way.
You wouldn't...
YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A FONT!

I heard there were also pirate broadcasts of ZX Spectrum computer tapes.
My sister had a cassette player with built in TV. We later found you could record shows by linking the RCA out to the cassette line in, and do the reverse for playback...however the volume of the casette controlled how large the image would be on the screen, so a bit tricky for playback
Ignorance is not innocence, we are coming for you.
Just so long as nobody gets pregnant - I sure wouldn't want to have to explain how that happened from doing some old school music piracy.
