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.
Optical media is not long term. Hurry up to backup your DVD videos and games, before you can't anymore.
Recordable media isn't. Factory pressed media if stored correctly should outlast the person who bought it.
Should. Real is about 20 years even for big libraries. I've seen bad DVD (plastic gone dull) in the library of ETHZ.
