Interesting article about Disc Rot from this month...
http://tedium.co/2017/02/02/disc-rot-phenomenon/
(And Nintendo Life did a follow-up article arguing for emulation.)
This is actually one of those topics that I tend to just run and hide from. I don't even want to think about it or just how many discs I have in my collection have might this problem.
I know I have at least one disc that's disc rotted...and it's a copy of The Ring (DVD) that I bought on release date and watched once and later went back to do some screen caps from only to discover it had rotted away in its case. Creepy that it was that movie that spontaneously oxidized after one viewing.
