This is not piracy. We've always been allowed to record e.g. radio and TV for personal use.
I think the RIAA has a different view on that. Huge push backs against recordable cassettes and VHS tapes when they were introduced.
I could be wrong but didn't a cut from blank tapes go to the industry tp 'make up for the losses'?
The Netherlands had a tax on blank CDs to "compensate" authors, essentially legalizing piracy (until the EU changed the rules).
Ah that might have been it. I vaguely remember hearing about it at the time.
