it would, but only on fresh tapes, older tapes tend to copy from one layer of wound tape to another. reel-to-reel had this as well but the tape was quite a bit thicker so it was less of a problem. digital is far from perfect but the errors are constant, it does not degrade over time which is the big killer in magnetic media.

(comparing apples to oranges here, 'digital' is not a storage medium, but since you can move it from one medium to another without loss it might as well be)

In many countries it is now illegal to link to infringing content, it will take the likes of google to be sued before we'll get a real precedent because only they have enough money to take it all the way to the highest courts.

Linking should be ok, no matter what the content, after all, if you link to one of my sites I can replace the contents of that site after the fact by something that is copyrighted, in no way should an action by me make you liable. This will decide the future of the web.

I think 'untouchable' does not mean what you think it means.

Your reluctance to post your address below is proof positive of this, if you're 'untouchable' for real I can't see what the problem is.

All the above is nonsense with the qualifiers you put in this post, and for 'ordinary' citizens who would like to have access to some regular household chemicals there should not be a reason to fear the authorities. As a kid I had a chemistry set that I could have used to do fairly bad stuff with, but being a responsible kid I did not. Today, ordering those exact same chemicals in the same quantity outside of having a 'valid' reason would almost certainly constitute a red flag somewhere and that should not be the case.
