I too have a Sony DVD/Tape machine that allows copying but I haven't even thought of copying the tape to DVD because of the anti-copying thingy.

Most of the tapes I have copied to DVD have been my own tapes so no problem with copyright.
But I am not sure that tapes can be restricted like DVDs can.
I use a Philips dirty cheap tape deck to copy to my SONY DVD recorder and every commercial tape I have tried prattles on about copyright at the beginning but then copies over to the DVD deck without any problems at all.
I haven't found one that fails yet.
I suggest you try it yourself.
Nice to be able to dump the old tapes and replace them with thin DVDs easy to store.
