Do you know what DVD stands for?

LOL ever since things went digital piracy went up so much lol now its inivitable every time the mpaa tries to take down a server like the pirates bay they only bring them more publicity and increase piracy lol.... i mean i would personaly buy more movies if they were cheaper and what i find stupid is that when ppl purchase dvd's cds etc etc a portion of the money spent purchasing it goes to the record companies and movie companys so that they make up for their loses from piracy so why are those fuckers trying to get more money when their getting all their loses back through the overpricing of the legit dvd's and blank cd's and dvds along with many other crap thats not told to you when your purchasing something lol.

yeah DVD stands for (Digital VideoDisc or Digital Versatile Disc)

It used to be called Digital Video Disk when it first came out because the creators didn't realise that you could store more than just videos on them. When they started using them for games the changed the name to Digital Versatile Disk so as not to look stupid :3

I knew it along time go.. When i was 10 i guess.. Thats about 7 years ago.. :P

Whereas CDs use only one side, DVDs can be recorded on both sides as well as in dual layers. DVD drives/players read most CD media as well.

good stuff until blue ray got to stores.

I believe this poll is asking "Do you know what DVD stands for?", and not "Does google know what DVD stands for?".

I may be wrong, though!
