When Kodak introduced their CDrs I asked the principal of a major media

I asked why & was told that they had no loyalty to their customers: had a
track record of abandoning recording media. The guy's assessment was
correct.

I cannot cite a reference, but I have read a message from Kodak that the market is dominated by low-cost, low-quality product and theirs was simply uneconomical. In the present economic climate, no corporation needs a "loss leader" regardless of the postivie publicity it might bring - and CD-R media do not deliver even that.
