  A friend recently bought a VCR and discovered that one can't copy
  rented tape from one machine to another without a black box of
  some sort between machines.   Why?  It seems that the company\
  originally recording the tape must add a signal to the video that
  the machine can recognize, but the television doesn't.   The result
  being that the tape can be viewed on the TV, but can't be recorder
  to add to one's collection....
