Info: Some DVD's Rott & Fall apart!!!

[NeoNSX]

I felt this was an Important Read for all us DVD owners.

"If you think your prized collection of DVD movies will last a lifetime, think again - some are already starting to rot while others are falling apart.
Unofficial estimates put the number of affected discs at between one and 10 per cent."

Well, so much for the durability of optical storage medium. The infuriating part is that the manufacturers and distributors are refusing to replace the faulty media. This on top of adding "copy protection" technology to prevent consumers from legally making backup copies, a fundamental right under the fair use laws.
