I don't think they're going for the kind of people who would do that --
they're just trying to stop the hordes of people who (believe it or not)
don't have a turntable or cassette player! Which strikes me as bizarre; I
mean I can see not owning a turntable, since their heyday is long past, but
I do know a lot of people who don't have a single cassette deck available
to them! Ever since the CD-r took precedence, along with portable mp3
players, the cassette has been dying a slow and underpublized death. If it
wasn't for my telephone interviews, I know I wouldn't be buying blanks
anymore, and I think I've bought maybe a couple dozen pre-recorded
cassettes in my life.
