Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

Same thing with DVD and Blu Ray, heck if you still buy those plastic data disks they still do it.

Yeah, just not as effective after VHS since you only have to buy it once, or just illegally copy someone else's. I think that's what Netflix mostly was used for in the DVD days. Rent the movie to be copied and shared.
