I always feel a little silly reblogging things from Boing Boing (like you haven’t seen them already), but I grabbed a better image of this 1892 cylinder copying device, so here you go. The image is from this patent for a “Method of and Means for Duplicating or Transferring Phonograph Records.” On Boing Boing, it’s in a post about (guess what) copyright and DRM. (via Boing Boing)

A bunch of stuff played really fast.

Are they still the same songs? Is it pitch-corrected (or can you even ask that about data that’s been so beat up)? Do the original copyrights still apply? Can you reverse the tracks and still hear the originals? Does anyone actually care?
