Don't Buy Mitsumi DVD-R Media

In relation to this blog, I would like to suggest that one should never buy Mitsumi DVD-R 4.7GB 4x media. I went back to Futureshop and bought a five pack of Memorex DVD-R 8x, and so far 2 burns out of 2 burns have come out fine. I know that my sample size isn't very large, but 10/10 fails with Mitsumi media and 2/2 passes with Memorex media may be the start of a statistical trend. For both media I burned at half the speed they were rated for.

As for the FFII incident, an update that I got through a Debian blog (who in turn got it from ffii.de, but the link doesn't work for me) was that a DNS hosting company chickened out and removed the ffii.org site after receiving a letter from a Nutzwerk lawyer.
