It was called MacroVision. It is still around, but since so few people copy to VHS (who would want to), it has almost been forgotten about. It was easily defeated by inserting a device in the connection between the two machines. The same device also could be used to improve the picture on marginal videos too....which made the device legal even if some specific uses of it were not.
