<p>Yes, big difference. A failed write, or a disk that has failed, still
has a lot of valid data that can be read off, and you can generally verify to a
high certainty, whether this new disk is a working copy of this broken
disk.</p>
The very idea of someone not checking the disk before sending it off to
<i>register your copyrights</i> - even in the most basic way of
"shove it in a drive see if you can open a file" - seems so very
unlikely - Was it done on purpose? So you could change your claim later? My
inbuilt sanity-checker rebels at the thought, but - what other explanation?
Personally, I'd do and MD5 of the whole disk, compare it to a MD5 of what it
should be, and include that MD5 checksum in the description of the disk in the
paperwork. But then, I'm not... well, I won't say any more.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Is the CDROM meant to contain what the registration is about, then if the CDROM
is blank, then assuming the CDROM is containing the Java that they are
registering copyright on and definitely own, Oracle have registered no
copyrights on Java. Perhaps they don't own any copyrights that they could
register?
Alternatively, they have registered all of John Cage's 4:33 - perhaps he'd like
to sue them for copyright infringement?
Alternatively, the first registration with a blank CDROM can sue for copyright
infringement as Oracle have obviously copied their work in full and claimed it
as their own with the Copyright Office.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
