I routinely have to attempt to salvage damaged Wii and PS disks for friends kids. It happens more often than you may think.
True, but don't kids also make crayon marks on expensive books, and flush pets down the toilet, and break dishes sometimes? It's normal. What's unusual is, we have a legal loophole that allows us to claim a certain reproduction privilege over digital content stored on disc media, that we don't have with other household items we buy for the home that our destructive kids have access to. I'd like to make a similar claim about my favorite drinking glasses, coffee cups, eyeglasses, bicycles, and cars, that my kids have access to, and do damaging things to. Wouldn't that be great?
