CD Freaks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CD Freaks.com is a CD and DVD recordable information site that publishes reviews on CD and DVD burner, burning software and blank media. The website offers daily news updates and background articles. The website clearly focuses on the optical storage niche and attracts many users that disagree with copyright legislation. The visitors are able to respond to news stories which usually ends up in blaming authorities to be too harsh on home copiers. Stories are usually also submitted by these readers and are written in the blog style.
The website also offers firmware and software downloads and has a forum in which many participate in discussions on CD and DVD recording. The website has a world on its own as many of the visitors are real freaks when it comes to burning a CD and DVD. Quality scans performed with disc quality scanning software are all over the place and in some cases CD Freaks members do contests in which the winner is the one with highest burning speed and the lowest amount of errors.
CD Freaks was founded in 1997 by Jan-Willem Aldershoff and Maikel Thijssen. Currently, the site is owned by the company RankOne Media Group of which the management consists of Jan-Willem Aldershoff and Robin van Lieshout.
