Time for music consumers to just say NO!

What peeves me even more is the Region coding on DVDs. If I buy a DVD in England and want to play it on a US machine, I can't. Why was this a good idea??

Oh well, no problem...that's been hacked too. Many of the Chinese DVD players can be made "region-free" with minimal effort.

IIRC, it's because that different sovereign nations have different copyright laws. (So that Chinese DVD player not only funds the People's Liberation Army, it promotes the globalist New World Order!)
