* * Expanded the title to something more descriptive * *

The paper doesn't seem aware that there's a difference between the layers in a CD and a DVD. Making a 0.6mm deep scratch in a DVD is very difficult unless you *really* want to do it.

Some older CDs have a completely unprotected top layer (reflective layer) however, and I'm sure you could damage those by using a pen with the wrong type of solvent, so the article isn't completely off the mark.
