Thanks for that link. I've read reports about the "rot" or "decay" to which discs are heir several times over the past years. The first articles that I read about this issue with CDs actually appeared in the late 1980s, as I recall.
Fans of DS are fortunate because of how long MPI has kept the series in print. (Clearly, they aren't losing any money on the show, so their motives could hardly be altruistic, but still, I think we're lucky they're so committed to it.) A couple weeks ago I had lunch with a friend who's a diehard media collector and he spoke about the rate at which CDs, DVDs and related media (such as VHS) go in and out of print. It's pretty shocking.
