They tried to block video recorders (and also mp3 players, though you don't mention those). But the difference with all of those is that they would have a legitimate legal use, and were marketed for that use. I doubt there will be enough people interested in digitising their old diaries to make it worth marketing to them. And if they market it as a tool to aid copyright violation they will just be asking for trouble.
