Why is lightening attracted to electromagnetic tape used in tape recorders to record music, voices, etc.?

This accidental discovery was made when birds in the area, carried pieces of the electromagnetic tape into several of the pear trees located on the proper where I was staying. The area, located in Tennessee had a high volocity for thunderstorms and weather. The storms gathered and the lightening struck the property and the trees over four times. As I was cleaning up the area, I noticed the tape in the trees which had been directly hit by the lightening.

Also, since the invention of the DVD and CVs, the atmosphere has experienced less damaging lightening strikes around the nation, if one observes and looks back at the lightening strikes which have taken place since that invention.

Attractors of lightening seem to be electromagnetical as well. Metals such as keys were the focus due to Ben Franklin's discovery, however, what theoretical research is being conducted on lightening and magnetic devices of all sorts, or anything containing magnetic fields, and what electrical charge is electromagnetic tape composed of, how many positive and negative electrons are present on the tape films, and what type of conductor is it? How is the magnetic tape able to attract the lightening from the sky and cause it to strike? Does it produce a static electrical current and act as a conductor to the lightening, which is from the negatively charged cloud? Are the electrons stable or moving on the tape and able to move into the air to attract the lightening? The rain is present when this happens. It is usually warm in the summer. Most of the trees contain leaves which are green, and the temp. is very hot. Maybe these conditions will help with my question.

Is electromagnetic tape a significant conductor of electrical energy ? Or is the word electromagnetic tape a misnomer? being plastic?
