At some point in time it was reported that the inks commonly used in marking pens contained solvents that could degrade the disk material over time, which led the Sharpie people to market a special CD/DVD marker for the purpose. Yeah, I bought one.
I'm not contradictining you, but recently I had a disk that was scratched on the label side and would not read. I could literally see through the scratch. I took a Black marker -Artline 70 - and coloured over the scratch. Lo and behold- I could read the disc.
