DUH, I wasnt repeatedly contending it wasnt legal to **buy** a non- region 1 DVD player in the USA, I repeatedly made the contention that its illegal to **sell** them here and also stated repeatedly that's mostly likely why none of the USA major retailers sell them. YOU counter argued that they dont sell them because there isnt demand for them not because it isnt legal to sell them. NOW you are changing your positon to say its not illegal to **buy** them which does not address my repeated contention or your insistance why the major sellers dont sell them. You are trying to argue buying now when we were discussing SELLING them. re : quote by another poster on this, possibly true:
"All DVD Players shipped in the USA must be set to Region 1. It is not legal for the manufacturer to provide information or any other means of changing the region code to allow the playback of DVD's from other regions."

I think you have a problem understanding what is legal and illegal. I think it's legal to buy a multi-region DVD player in the USA. I think it's legal for an individual to reprogram a region 1 player to be a multi-region player in the USA. I think it would be illegal to make copies of copyrighted material for other than personal viewing. It would be illegal to distribute them without prior permission by the owner(s). I don't mind being wrong. I'm wrong often (that's often as in frequently)... a little takeoff on a Gilbert & Sullivan line. When I'm wrong I admit it. Tom C. >From: "J. C.
