Gold doesn't oxydize. AFAIK that is a problem that sometimes affects aluminium based discs, when the polycarbonate seal is defective. If you want to be really sure of maximal shelf life, you'd use glass instead of polycarbonate

The point of that law is to shut down scams where companies send you stuff without you ording anything (or, in most cases, ever having heard from them) and then demand payment. I am also not a lawyer, but I am pretty sure it does not apply

Wrong tree to bark up. "Permanently" only means there is no time limit with an automatic reactivation afterwards. It's absolutely possible for a "normie" to get a permanent ban reviewed and lifted.
