Its not nonsense, and no public law needs to be passed for licensing aggreements are broken to be considered illegal. I think it comes down to the fact if you modify and resell a DVD player, you have to have a DVD licensing agreement and that aggreement would not permit you to do a hack like that. jco

No sensible legislature (if that's not a contradiction in terms) would waste its time on such crap which has no benefit whatsoever to the consumer (aka voter). The whole region coding thing is complete nonsense anyway. -- Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of J. C.
