Not necessarily Oracle's fault

Authored by: Anonymous on Saturday, April 28 2012 @ 02:14 AM EDT

1. the disc might have been blank from get go
(see the first Off Topic post above);
2. the disc might be formatted for a Sun proprietary filesystem
and Copyright Office can't read it;
3. the disc may have been a Best Buy 20cent job that has failed
in one of the many ways CDR can fail;
4. it may have been put thru a photocopier and accidentally destroyed;
5. it may have had a self-adhesive paper label applied. "Drying"
of the adhesive over months-years can cause the label to shrink and tear
the lacquer backing layer exposing the recordable layer to air;
6. the disc may have been labeled with a ballpoint or hard pencil
which has physically damaged the disc, or with a felt pen whose
ink solvent has penetrated the disc.
7. it may have been exposed to direct sunlight before entering
the Copyright Office.
