The distribution company who manages the brands Datawrite, Datasafe and RiDisc are partly responsible for the existence of these websites, but they do not have editorial control nor do they own them. They were the first to spot the opportunity to launch UK websites centred on DVD media. They Partnered with a very competent web design company who also runs similar sites (atop web design) and came to long term sponsorship deals whereby they pay for hosting and various other costs associated with running a website.
Datawrite Datasafe, Bulkpaq, Memorex…… etc pay to advertise on the sites, but why wouldn’t they ! It is a good sites with lots of visitors! Who come back often. This is because the visitors like the website and the information they can find there. The website would not be successful if they did not help and interest people.
With www.dvd-recordable.org Datawrite and Bulkpaq have agreed a reciprocal advertising agreement. You may be aware that all the Datawrite and Bulkpaq media produced since 2002 has “official sponsors of www.dvd-recordable.org†printed on every disc. This would not be the act of a company seeking to hide their affiliation with a website! This is the act of a company promoting their association with a website.
