How many recordings on 78 rpm discs represent a loss of revenue to record labels? I’m guessing none, but they sued the Internet Archive anyway.
What about records glued onto the back of cereal boxes? I remember those. They have collectors, of course.
As it turned out, ordering those turntable belts from Germany wasn’t a tariff test, because the “less than $800” import rule was still in force for the EU at that time.
