Was this considered 'piracy' back in the day? - eviltoast

Back when we would record onto VHS, is that considered piracy? Found a super bowl XXXI tape from my Uncle circa 1997. I’m curious lol.

Also side note, have any of you dabbled in digitizing old VHS? Have quite a few home videos on VHS and I’m wanting to preserve them for the future. I’ve done a bit of research and have come across a wide array of information. I know that doesn’t really qualify as piracy, if there’s a better comm for this, please direct me there!

    You wouldn’t download a serial killer.

    But you could download countless murder-mystery audiobooks and ebooks from Libby, so that’s a close second.
