Nope, it's not ok.  Never said it is.  Any copying of copyrighted material without the consent of the owner of the material is stealing.  I actually admitted being guilty of it myself a few posts back.
 
It's different because mono cassette recordings are far inferior to digital quality and degrade generationally.  Digital recordings are high quality from the get-go and carry the same quality for the 3203948739 copy as they do for the first one.  Distribution is also far less of an issue without the internet.

It's one thing if you
smuggle in a mini recorder, transfer it to cassette and share it with a
few friends, but the internet has changed all of that.



Why is it one thing to do that?  You have made such a strong argument against
stealing, and now, it is ok if you go into a concert, tape the show, transfer
it to a casette, and share it with a few friends?  Why is that ok?  Is that
NOT still stealing????  It seems to me that you have contradicted yourself
quite nicely here.
