Just wonderin’, Chris - can’t help but notice the red check mark & initials on the green disc. Was that the mark from the audit? Hmmm, I hope not.

I believe they (SC reps) said that the marking of the discs(for an audit) would be in the center ring of the disc (on the clear (no data part) surface).

The discs are stamped with a code registered to you only, and it is done with an invisible ink that can be seen with infrared. You can't really see it with the naked eye.

I even have a few discs that are 100% legit, that have full paper labels over them with disc filing info on them. Can only spot them by shining a very bright flashlight through them from the data side.

I had some like that I acquired in a bulk purchase. I almost tossed out as there were quite a few non-original discs as well with the same white label. I ended up setting out a casserole dish partially full of water with a couple of drops of dish washing soap in it. I'd put a couple of discs in and let them sit and after 5 or 10 mins I could easily rub off the label without damaging the disc by scraping.

Thanks! Pardon my ignorance but this is an info learning curve topic for me. Scenario: If all my sc discs are to be processed, code stamped, registered ownership to me only & I decide to quit the business, then start selling my cd’s, am I obligated to disclose that info to the buyer, hence diminish the resale value? Notify SC about the sale? The name of the buyer(s)? See where I’m going with this? That would be over a thousand transactions if sold individually.

@Brian - It is my understanding that you need to let SC know what disc and when you sell/trade/destroy one. It is a pain in the rear, but it is part of the agreement you sign when you go through the audit..
