Just a side note that M-DISC exists which is essentially a blue ray disk with a claimed longevity of a thousand years (strong emphasis on "claimed". there's a lot of controversy around it)
but yes the only way to retain access is piracy as it allows people that didn't have the media to get it
It's weird to me that apparently nobody backs up their pirated stuff and just assumes they'll able to torrent it again in 10 years.
I get it about stuff that you don't really care about But if I spend a day looking for a specific movie, I'm taking it to my grave
Thanks for reminding me I need to try mdisc. I have multiple redundant backups but don't trust any of them for long term. (Hard drive, SSD flash, USB flash)
My carefully burned DVDs are going bad after 15 years just like you said. (They were checked for pio errors at time of burn using only verbatim azzo 100 year media and stored in my basement in black dvd cases.)
I really need to test them as well. Being ~100GB each is quite good for me, I won't need more than 100 for my whole life
