US pressuring Ukraine to block pirate sites. Ukraine and other countries are gladly reporting their pirate site blocking progress to the USTR, signaling the progress that they make when it comes to copyright protections. Interestingly, however, the United States itself still lacks a pirate site blocking regime.
Over the past year, several site-blocking bills have been proposed by U.S. lawmakers, Rep. Zoe Lofgren’s FADPA bill that was first announced in January 2025. However, these have yet to move forward.
We expect that the American proposals will move forward this year, as lawmakers previously indicated that they would like to see site-blocking legislation implemented during the current Congress session, which ends in a few months.

ASOIAF read by Roy Dotrice, master of the accent and only reason I 'got into it' rlly. God bless this series. lol. Got me through a very dark time in my life. Engaging and complicated enough to absorb your attention if you try and fun n funny along the way, plus really an Almanac of Ancient Trivia and Histiographical (ya like that one?) contextualization (oh.....my gawd...so good! I ...am....) etc.

Optical discs (CD, DVD, Blu-ray) are surprisingly decent for long-term storage if made well and stored right — but their lifespans vary wildly: according to a Canadian Conservation Institute study, recordable CDs/DVDs/Blu-rays can last from as little as ~2–10 years (poor storage/quality) up to 50–100+ years under ideal conditions, with high-quality materials (gold layers, phthalocyanine dyes) pushing longevity higher.
Canadian Conservation Institute optical disc longevity study:
https://www.canada.ca/en/conservation-institute/services/conservation- preservation-publications/canadian- conservation-institute-notes/longev ity-recordable-cds-dvds.html
Key optical ranges from that study:
Read-only CDs/DVDs (pressed): ~50–100 years
CD-R (cyanine/azo): ~20–50 years
DVD±R (standard): ~10–50 years
Rewritable formats & some Blu-rays: ~5–50 years
M-Disc goes beyond dye chemistry entirely — inorganic data layer with manufacturer claims of centuries of life (often marketed ~1000 years) — widely considered the most stable practical optical format.
Hard Drives (HDDs)
Mechanical, inevitable wear & tear.
Typical reliable life: 3–10 years before failure risk rises sharply.
SSDs & SD cards
No moving parts, but charge leakage over time.
Data retention years to a decade, shorter if unpowered.
Controllers and NAND quality greatly affect outcomes.
Magnetic tape / cassettes
Analog tapes: 10–30+ years if stored dry/cool.
Digital tape (e.g., LTO): can be decades if maintained and refreshed.
Raw Longevity Rank (best worst for archival)
M-Disc optical
High-quality pressed optical (CD/DVD)
Standard optical (CD/DVD/Blu-ray)
Magnetic tape
HDD arrays (with power cycling)
SSD/SD flash
Real-world survival
Optical isn’t “forever,” but many consumer CDs/DVDs from the ’80s–’90s still read today — suggesting that with patience and care, 30–60+ year lifespans are realistic for good media even outside the lab.
