Frank Chachulski, The QC-Manager of 3A Media Produktion und Handel GmbH, approached us with an email today, making a strong statement about the production of 3A Media:
"The truth is that SINCE beginning of 2003 most manufacturers are using false MIDīs in order to get more compatible. Some drive manufacturers even ask for money in order to implement new MIDs into their drives. We are talking of several 10 thousands dollar per manufacturer or MID.As we can learn from Frank's statement, the motivation to use an incorrect MID can vary. The drive manufacturers have a role to play in this as well.
But 3A Media had never and will never produce discs with wrong MIDs! That question is not at issue."
