The static actually causes damage to CDs when you take them out of the players. If you can really be arsed then get a copper bracelet (or whatever they're called) and wear it when you take CDs out.

Yeah, I saw a Myth Busters episode where they tried to detonate a CD by spinning really fast (Like as fast as the higher speed drives). It's true, they will shatter.

It is because of this that two separate lasers must be used in a multipurpose (R/W/RW) drive. If the write laser (the more powerful of the two) was used for reading it would destroy any writable media immediately, not over time. The read laser, on the other hand, isn't powerful enough to alter the dye of writable media and thus wont cause any damage. Now, there is a possibility that the dye itself might degrade in integrity over time, but that doesn't have anything to do with only reading the disc. Furthermore, rewritables cease to work after they've been rewritten enough times, but this also has nothing to do with simply reading. As an aside, none of this has anything to do with the surface of the media; damage to which is caused by other means. Quote:

I'm more than tired to argue about the same thing, have it your way if it fits you.
