100 years apply to the DVD media that was made in 1998 by Pioneer and TDK.
The cost of a single media these days was ~ 70 Euro. I would guess that current
media will not last as long as media from 1998.
BluRay BD-R media is not based on organic dye but on metall-nitrides. I would
guess that BD-R for this reason lasts longer and is not affected by UV rays.
The article mentined above does not contain enough information to be able to
judge on it.
