Look for issues in discs made from 2006 to 2008.

    Shockingly good news from a media corp. Paramount would just steal your discs and tell you to pound sand

      As would Sony and Disney. It is surprising that WB is doing this.

    It doesn’t matter. If the CD/DVD works, copy it immediately. If not, so sorry.

    I just checked one of my dvd shelf and two WB movies that should be in excellent condition were little bit sticky from both sides. This feels like a flashback to when Arturia’s hardware keys and knobs started to ”melt” after few years. Companies use cheapest plastics possible.
