How to Pirate a Vinyl Record

Wednesday, January 5, 2011 12:07:02 AM

, ,

Ahoy! pirate So, you think that you've pirated everything, right?
Aye, me parrot begs to differ.

Step 1
Using some wooden strips, make a box around a glass plate. Seal off the edges using window cement. Make sure everything is air tight.


Step 2
Place a vinyl album inside the box - making sure that the portion to be copied is facing upward. Squeeze in some window cement to mark where the hole in the record is.


Step 3
Mix the silicone (Smooth On OOMOO 30 or OOMOO 25) for about 3 minutes before pouring in to the mold.


Step 4
Pour in the mixture. Start from one corner and let it fill the mold to about half a centimeter. Make sure it’s even. Let it dry for 6 hours.


Step 5
Peel off the silicone from the cast. Cut off the excess using a cutter.


Step 6
Pour the liquid plastic (the Smooth On junk) on top of the silicone cast.


Step 7
Make sure that nothing spills over the round form. You can also brush off any air bubbles that might happen.


Step 8
Carefully loosen the plate from the silicone form. Using a drill press, bore a hole through the center of the plate. You can use the silicone form as a template to make more copies.



...And there you have it! Your very own pirated record album! w00t! yesheadbang

Although, you know there's a usb record player that'll rip the vinyl

KarenNerak Wednesday, January 5, 2011 1:13:26 AM

Yeah, but this is a cool project to do if you want an actual physical copy of it. bigsmile Which I would!

True...that'd be stellar! yes

Actually, you could adapt this technique for cd's and dvd's. sherlock.
Commercial cd's and dvd's have the data physically 'pressed' into the disk. The paint on the back usually covers this up, but if you removed that you could, in theory, use a variation of this technique to copy the disk. left.
You could experiment using clear epoxy resin. But remember that you'll proba destroy the source disk in the first 500+ attempts without achieving anything. p.

Which is reason enough for me to not even attempt. bigsmile

Mad Scientistqlue Wednesday, January 5, 2011 7:46:51 AM

I totally agree with that. p.
Besides, just copying a disk to blank disk works well enough for all legal uses. (and most illegal uses too. rolleyes)

Dacotah Wednesday, January 5, 2011 10:41:16 AM

That is an interesting way to make copies.
bigsmile

KarenNerak Thursday, January 6, 2011 5:36:41 AM

cry I lost my sticky post. I got too hasty when that moron attacked, and said, "Screw this!" and deleted the entire post rather than being patient and going through the HTML. lol

I learned my lesson, though, and did it the HTML way the other four times that jackass attacked me. rolleyes

Doesn't change the fact that I lost my sticky post that had over 6,000 comments. cryrip

Crysta T. Laceycrystalacey Thursday, January 6, 2011 5:49:30 AM

OH, Dear! cry No recovery through archive?? sad

KarenNerak Thursday, January 6, 2011 6:05:37 AM

Nope. left

That's okay. We'll just have to start over. I had comments from people on that one who I no longer like, anyway. Sometimes it's good to start fresh. bigsmile

Mad Scientistqlue Thursday, January 6, 2011 9:25:13 AM

Well, they've blocked html in comments now. So I can't use my em and strong tags anymore. awww.
