Anandtech has a short but informative primer on the new DVD DL (Double Layer) technology that will be finding its way into our stores (and our hearts) in the next few months.

I tried to pirate some blank DVDs from Best Buy once, but the capitalist hegemony called it ‘stealing.’ “Information wants to be free,” I told them, as they beat me.
