B9 11817. P.B. Hugenholtz: The Story of the Tape Recorder and the History of Copyright Levies. Copyright and the Challenge of the New, B. Sherman & L. Wiseman (eds.), Information Law Series, vol. 25.
“This chapter traces the history of copyright levies from the early 1950s, when the introduction of magnetic tape recorders on the German consumer market immediately led to an unprecedented explosion of litigation, to the mid 1960s, when a system of statutory private copying levies became part of the new German Copyright Act. As this chapter reveals, at least two other stories can be told on the impact of tape recording on copyright. Although tape recording is most directly associated to the introduction of levies, the phenomenon of ‘home copying’ that the tape recorder enabled, also – for the first time in legal history – led to incisive legal debates and case law on the interface between copyright enforcement and right to privacy, and on contributory liability of tape recorder manufacturers and retailers.
