I think it is a marketing problem. Marketing is essentially about the
seller getting into contact with the customers, to find out what can be
sold.
The CD makers have a problem locating those who really want archival
CD-Rs. (By "really want" I mean they are prepared to pay a high price if
necessary.) These customers exist but are thinly scattered.
In what magazine would the maker advertise, for instance?
Probably the medical, military and music people need to get together and
make themselves known to a manufacturer.
