Videotape not only radically changed how audiences accessed the content they wanted and loved but also altered how they watched it. Lucas Hilderbrand shows how videotape and fair use offer essential lessons relevant to contemporary progressive media policy. courts controversially reinterpreted copyright law to protect users’ right to record, while content owners eventually developed ways to exploit the video market. The studios initially resisted VCRs and began legal action to oppose their marketing. Analog videotape was introduced to consumers as a blank format, essentially as a bootleg technology, for recording television without permission. In an age of digital technology and renewed anxiety about media piracy, Inherent Vice revisits the recent analog past with an eye-opening exploration of the aesthetic and legal innovations of home video.
