Tape Copier

I cannot believe that anyone would be naive enough to believe that a tape copier such as this is produced just to make back up copies of your own tapes.

However, just to make sure that you don't infringe any copyright laws, Lerm does remind you that it illegal to make copies of commercial tapes.

So, bearing that in mind, if you do need a tape copier, this is probably as good as any.

Tape Copier 5.1

There are two programs on each side. One program is called simply Tape Copier, and the other is called Minitape.

My version came complete with four A4 size sheets of information and instructions about both programs. I found it easy to use, and it worked every time on my own programs.

Lerm claims that this tape will copy any other tape, except those produced by Lerm itself. I have no doubt that the software houses will do their best to disprove that claim.

I also have no doubt that people will continue to produce tapes similar to this one, and that people will continue to buy them. What use they put them to is a matter of conscience.
