The pilot, in some confusion about the schedule, landed in Portland instead of Eugene, and taxied around vainly in search of a welcoming party. "It's hard to make a speech here," Muskie quipped to an aide. "There are no terminal facilities."

The practice has long been a problem (Frank Sinatra records were bootlegged in the '40s), but technology has only recently made it attractive to young entrepreneurs. A variety of tape copiers, from $40 recorders to $100,000 stereo duplicating systems, can turn out cartridges, cassettes or reel-to-reel tapes, usually in less time than it takes to listen to them. Music-trade publications and underground newspapers carry ads for the machines, and many...
