I always hear that canard "will we even be able to read it in x years? "
I think that would be pretty simple for any civilization 1000 years more advanced than us. #1000yeardvds
The best part is that 1,000, technologically, might as well be millions, so before optical media even reaches 100 years, we'd probably have little reason to use it. I can't imagine anyone in their right mind being taken in by this snake oil disc.
I would like a 80mm mini CD version to put into my lead lined titanium urn along with a air tight vile of blood and some other notable scraps. I always thought a data disk with a bunch of info and files would be great for my future generations to enjoy. I know I like to look through my great grandparents things. It may sound morbid but hell we all die, may as well plan for it ; /
@j05hu4: lol, I was thinking more towards family pictures, important documents and my digital art. But it might be interesting to hide a folder containing my porn collection.

I’m thinking "So what." We all know that a few years down the line someone is going to come up with an even more efficient form of data storage, and these disks will be obsolete. All I can think of when I see this, is the boxes of VHS tapes I have sitting in the garage. #1000yeardvds
Yeah, I have a feeling that, even if we still had DVD players in 1000 years, optical media isn't how you'd want to store your things over the next millennium... #1000yeardvds
So wait, CD ripping software, like iTunes is legal, but DVD ripping is not? Seems to me like the motion picture industry has better lobbyists.
Oh, the almighty dollar.
@MacAttack7388: I believe it has to do with encryption. CD's aren't encrypted so you don't have to break the encryption to make a copy. Since DVD's are encrypted, the circumvention of the encryption is what is illegal.
Yeah? Well osculate with my posterior, douchebiscuit. Unless a more convenient, legal and less restrictive means to have my library exist as a collection of files on my Macbook/iPod becomes more apparent, HandBrake will be my bestest friend in the whole wide world.
I don't see what the problem is with dvd copying software. I bought the cd and thus it is my property and i can do whatever i want with it, i don't see how anyone can say you can't do xxx with YOUR dvd.

Nobody would have to actually play these disks anyway, just read the data. #1000yeardvds
