I wonder if anyone has taken the RIAA to task on its selective attacks. I believe they are under some burden of consistency. In other words if they are going to go after downloaders they must also go after people using dual tape decks.
Thats so 80’s!!
good find though.

*sarcastic comment* Will they add DRM to these discs too?
Thats soo cool
We needed this 30 years ago.
I can just imagine what alvin and the chipmuncs would sound like off the silcone disc.
Since most of the woman I know pay allot for silicone what are the reproduction costs.
OK, you can see the effort and materials required to dup in this fashion. Certainly very difficult compared to ripping CD’s. So, if the RIAA wants to protect it’s intellectual property, why doesn’t it just simply release it’s music only on vinyl, basically making any digital distribution illegal? While it wouldn’t stop piracy, it would make it easier to spot, wouldn’t it?
The price of the materials is probably quite high, the playback quality is probably quite low, this is good fun but I would imagine not very practicle in real terms. TKane, do you know how easy it is to record vinyl onto a computer? People would simply do this then upload digital versions to P2P/Torrent. It wouldn’t end piracy.
TKane, even if they decided to put all music on Vinyl, the fair rights allows the public to change its format. There would still be no way to find out which media is illegal.

It’s still easier to just mic the speakers, dump it all into a digital editor and break some serious copyright laws.
