I can’t speak for video, but for audio production that isn’t true. Audio signals can be perfectly reproduced, up to some frequency determined by the sample rate and up to some noise floor determined by the bit depth, digitally. Set that frequency well beyond that of human hearings and set that noise floor beyond what tape can do or what other factors determine, and you get perfect reproduction.

I kind of understand the issues with privacy, but not really. What don’t you want online companies to know and why?

I agree. I think it’s terrible name, and ti just invites unnecessary drama.
