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. While those formats are likely to contain devices to thwart mass copying, musicians may find that the only way to beat the bootleggers is to drown them out with legitimate material...
