Yep - I have $400 of flimsy kids' DVDs floating around my den and I have two choices, buy a new $20 disc every third time my 3 year old wants to watch Nemo, or copy the damned thing.
Since S*ny ditched the alledged cartridge design for DVD early on for "weight in shipping" issues, I can only assume that longevity is not a premium to them... oh, shock of shocks, from a company whose $18 CDs, supposed to drop in price over the first five years with "improved economy of scale" only dropped their shelf price last summer.
Am I the only one on the planet that remembers these things? Or the DAT copy flag that made me buy studio time on a $3000 machine to copy my own final project in music school?
I swear I feel like a Phone Sanitizer sometimes - esp when it comes to S*ny.
