I think it depends on the process used to manufacture the CDR disc. I've
seen some with the dye under a very thin layer of plastic, and I've seen
some with it directly under the aluminum film. I wish the aluminum film
was under a layer of plastic tho. If the top of a cd is scratched, there
isn't much chance for data recovery if the scratch is in a data area.
