Sorry, I had the "handing a friend a ~cassette tape~ thumb drive is a crime" pounded into my skull since the 80's. What's your point?

> handing a friend a ~cassette tape~

Never was a crime, but it's explicitly permitted by the AHRA (which also enacted a tape tax.)

Unfortunately you may be out of luck on the thumb drive - you'd probably need to use DAT or "music" CD-R media, which include the Digital Audio Technology [DART] tax/royalty. (See also Apple's 2001-era Rip,Mix,Burn vs. 2023's Rent,Mix,Stream.)

This is of course a bummer for DJs who would like to stream or distribute their sets and mixes.

What’s a cassette tape?
