I don't bother with any "not allowed to" rubbish. For a start, CDs
aren't region-coded, so a CD shipped from the UK plays just fine here.
And of course there's BBC7 for downloading lots of great audio stuff,
and several other sources for the rather more obscure material.
As for DVDs - most of the cheap DVD players are only manufactured in
one model, so all you need to know is the magic command sequence and
you can play any DVD you like (most will also convert PAL to NTSC).
I can sit here and watch such gems as "Flash Gordon", "Rock Follies"
or "The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin", even though none of them
has been released in the USA ("Flash Gordon" was released in Brazil,
so it is possible to get a version that will play in US DVD players)
