In "copy potected" CDs, the DRM is on the outermost part of the CD in the second session. Maybe the labels will start releasing CDs with these protective outer bumps to preserve the most important part of the CD to them, which is the DRM.

It sounds like hype or irrational exuberance because the CD is flexible, so even if the edges are supported the middle would still sag and drag when weight is applied to it from the top. I guess the real test would be if a company like Netflix adopted it and actually did studies of how long their discs were to last.
