...record industry hopes that it will be able to control the production of bootleg CDs because of the relatively small number (about 115) of disc- manufacturing plants around the world, vs. millions of cassette-dubbing machines. But that advantage may prove fleeting because an array of new formats is poised to enter the market: digital audiotapes, digital compact cassettes and even recordable mini discs.
