Seeing multiple articles referring to Warner Bros DVDs suffering from "laser rot." (1, 2, 3)

The term 'laser rot' refers to specifically one format, LaserDiscs - the issue is when the disc layers degrade, nothing to do with lasers. The more general term is disc rot.

Probably pedantic but it bothers me.
