No, it doesn't matter where you live. What matters is how the disks were
burned. Probably the person who burned them used packet-writing software
like Nero's InCD or Roxio's Drag-to-Disc with a CD/DVD-RW. Then if the
recipient doesn't have packet-writing software or a UDF reader installed on
his computer, the disks look like they are blank.
This is one of the main reasons not to use packet-writing software and to
just use CD/DVD-Rs. With blank disks so cheap, there's no reason to use the
RWs any more and good reasons not to.
