Gosh, a completely implausible story from someone who's never posted to
Usenet before. Do ya think it could be phoney?

What mechanism is supposed to have come into play that's any different
from any other "unrecognized disc" error? You might as well say that if
you put a CD upside down into a player it will catch fire. Like anyone
would believe that would happen.

These hoaxes are like computer viruses by people too stupid to write code.
I wonder how many email lists this one will end up on.
