„… which I guess is the point, as Sony announces it will discontinue manufacturing the Betamax VCR . Though it had long since lost the war to VHS standards, the final blow was the explosion of DVD players on the market, and the upcoming writable DVD techology(ies).“

„Sony in the instant case does not supply Betamax consumers with respondents' works; respondents do. Sony supplies a piece of equipment that is generally capable of copying the entire range of programs that may be televised: those that are uncopyrighted, those that are copyrighted but may be copied without objection from the copyright holder, and those that the copyright holder would prefer not to have copied. The Betamax can be used to make authorized or unauthorized uses of copyrighted works, but the range of its potential use is much broader than the particular infringing use of the film Ben Hur involved in Kalem.“http://www.law.gwu.edu/facweb/claw/ch3b.htm - Cached
„The age of VHS (Video Home System) format videotape developed by JVC (which won the competition with the probably superior Betamax standard developed by SONY), radically changed the delivery of video to the public. This change was so radical that for a while it did not seem as if the public would be able to benefit from it! No sooner had the VCR (Video Cassette Recorder) arrived than attempts were made to prevent this technology from being made available to the public.“http://www.ams.org/new-in-math/cover/ errors1.html - Cached

„In the mid-90s, a new technology began to emerge: The Digital Versatile Disc (DVD). When DVDs came on the scene, they almost immediately began to threaten the 20 year reign of the VCR/VHS combination. The quality and picture of the digital recordings were a major selling point, but add to that the small size of the discs themselves and a new consumer favorite was born.“http://www.the-gadgeteer.com/ nextbase-tablet-dvd-review.html - Cached
