Actually a surface scan of some brand name DVDs revealed that even manufacturer markings can be detrimental. Take those Verbatim discs which had the logo embossed on in silver layer. Looked awesome. Were the first to fail when put through artificial aging (heat, humidity and pressure), and only where the logo is.
By the way, trusting online sources assumes that they are competent. Some Flight Simulator fans were recently quite disappointed when a fan mod site that had been online for 15 years were hacked and completely wiped out. They had no backups. Well paid administrators of a website that has existed for 15 years had no backups. Media is cheap. There's no reason any capable person shouldn't be able to preserve their digital life with 100% redundancy without spending $1000s
