This is only for recordable BD-Rs, Blu-ray movies will not be affected.

So it is one option less to store data long term and inaccessible to covert internet surviallance, but only the plebs are restricted.

I'm one of like 5 people on the planet who still uses his minidisc player. I've bought some of the blank minidiscs Sony was still making. Seeing them finally end production hurts. I have a bunch of minidiscs already, but I feel like I should stock up before prices go nuts.

I had a minidisc stereo in like, idk, 1998? That was an awesome piece of tech.

I wa going to suggest tape drives for long term archiving, but after looking, holy shit are they expensive for some reason. I've used them at work but I guess I've never actually seen the price tag.

using optical media for long term storage is quite a bad idea. Especially R/RW media. They tend to (although not always) degrade quite quickly

Tape is still the cheapest option for mass amounts of storage since the actual tapes are so cheap. You just need to store enough data to offset the cost of the drive. Drive cost increases very quickly the higher you go in storage densiry.

I don't even know what to say about this mess, but yes: that's enterprise pricing. It doesn't need to be that way, but it can be because those are the kind of prices you can charge businesses. And really, just as a pleasant capitalistic side effect of this, is that the lower classes are completely locked off form this technology. It's not a mystery, it's not a conspiracy, it's business. And I hate it.

I have never once bought a physical blueray, or used one that isn't digital.
