This is only for recordable BD-Rs, Blu-ray movies will not be affected.
So it is one option less to store data long term and inaccessible to covert internet surviallance, but only the plebs are restricted.
I wa going to suggest tape drives for long term archiving, but after looking, holy shit are they expensive for some reason. I've used them at work but I guess I've never actually seen the price tag.
Tape is still the cheapest option for mass amounts of storage since the actual tapes are so cheap. You just need to store enough data to offset the cost of the drive. Drive cost increases very quickly the higher you go in storage density.
