Re: wiping CDROMS? (computer forensic question)

Why wouldn't you just shred, melt, and scatter the CD if you want to wipe
the info on it? Trying to nondestructively wipe a hard drive makes some
sense, because you'd like to re-use the space...but CD-Rs are down to
something like $5/CD and you can't re-use the used space anyway. 
What do you have in mind by "wipe" ?
