It would be nice if that regional coding had an expiry date. For example a DVD could be played anywhere 2 years after release. This would accomodate such market protection, while allowing full use of purchased DVDs. As it stands now, what happens when someone buys several DVDs and moves to a different area? If they move from Europe to North America, they'll likely have to buy a new player and won't be able to play their movies.
Most players will allow you to change the region code.... up to 5 times.
Why so limited?
You can than the movie industry. -- Joseph Loo jloo@acm.org
