They claim 329 years on the stability of their formulation. I
suspect that other aspects of CD construction will degrade before
that time however.
FWIW, we do use the MAM-A CD-Rs.
I'm still trying to collect on the 3M silicone caulk that was
warranted for 50 years, but lasted only 20 on my house. Obviously,
such warranties are limited to replacement of the original disc (or
caulk), as long as it's still manufactured. I can't see getting a
replacement CD-R in 328 years...

Don't Mitsui Gold CD-Rs come with a
decades-long data life warranty?
With computers ... Having a company last more than a decade is a
lifetime. Did not Radio Shack have a lifetime warranty on tubes ( one
year ). I just can't quite see you collecting on that ... Umm my BW
needs a this part ... Sales-kid Umm we don't have any <latest game
