One example to answer the question: I'm a computer science
student in the
biggest university in my city (the 3rd
biggest capital of brazil). And guess what? Until recently (at least 1
year ago), I was the only one with a DVD burner (the Digital Image
Processing
Lab bought a dvd burner 4 months after me and my best friend just bought
one). 3 burners in an universe of 1500+ people gives an idea on
how hard would it be to burn that media ....
The prices dropped fast recently, at least in the US. I bought an external
USB2 burner maybe two years ago, for $400, and now an internal drive can be
had for about $70, and a USB2 enclosure for maybe another $50. Has Brazil
seen any of that drop?
