The vcr could make a copy using only the tools bought from a single company.

That wasn't the point.
VCR: buy VCR, buy leads, buy tape, buy/borrow second vcr, buy media.
Copy the physical media in front of you in real time.
Repeat buy media and tape.
Home computer: Buy PC, internet subscription. Download torrent client (optional, could use file lockers) and copy multiple queued files with fast download speeds until your hard-drive fills up.
watch, delete, burn, repeat, whatever.
No further purchase necessary.
Maybe you can't see the difference as to why it's easier, faster, cheaper (even no cost) to copy materials today than during VCR days (and one of the reason why file-sharing is at epidemic levels) . But most of us can.
