I think your article answered my question about the longevity of such a disc. If you spill liquid on a DVD, you simply (but carefully) wipe it clean. But, if you spill liquid on the paper disc, there goes 25GB.

This reminds me a lot of all the technological improvements made to laptop computers ... with little if any improvements made to the mileage of batteries needed to run them. However, in the case of this paper disc, it sounds more like two steps forward and three steps back. Am I missing something?
