He does have a point... 'the entire region coding system would make no sense to design and implement'.
It is really stupid. Granted the industry doesn't want, for example, people in Europe buying the DVD of a US movie before it's done showing in the theatres in Europe. The thing that should happen is, that the movie industry recognize we live in a global economy, and just start showing movies simultaneously around the globe. Problem solved, no need for region codes. In the meantime there are a fair number of British television series that are released on region 2 disks that are a long time in coming (or may never come) to region 1. Which is why I have owned a multi-region player. Tom C.
