It is quite another thing to suggest that corporations knowingly use materials that fail after a certain period of time.
The latter will cost executives their jobs and careers and the corporation untold millions of dollars in lawsuits.
That's why.

I guess what is causing me a bit of distress is the fact that if disc failure affects one of my OOP discs I believe compensation will be difficult to obtain.
