Copy protection for physical media was so rudimentary back then. VHS tapes literally just have a piece of plastic you could break off that acted as copy protection. Everyone had CRT's so no one was a quality freak either, really.

I think that made the tapes read-only.

VHS copy protection was mostly some flavour of Macrovision (at least in Canada).
