"Home Taping Is Killing Music" was the slogan of a 1980s anti-copyright infringement campaign by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), a British music industry trade group. With the rise in cassette recorder popularity, the BPI feared that the ability of private citizens to record music from the radio onto cassettes would cause a decline in record sales.

Pen and digital. An image that appeared on LPs in the early 80s warning of album duplication by tape to tape means. This version is my take on that imprint for those who want to own a piece of industry nostalgia!!

Taping songs off the radio is illegal

Who remembers those stamps on original audio cassettes in the 90s? Now that's some retro stuff - save our music, don't tape music at home!

Back in the 1980s the ‘Home Taping Is Killing Music’ message, was a propaganda campaign by the industry, who were terrified that people taping music from the radio, or off of friends’ records was going to destroy the business. Of course it was nonsense, but for years this message appeared all over the world. This particular version is a South African variant, found stamped on the inner sleeve, of an album in a Cape Town vintage shop… It just screamed out to be made into a T-shirt.
