I wouldn't know. I've not made my position (on the matter of regional DVD lock out) public if you check back over what I've written. Some reading pertinent to the region lock discussions (if you can be bothered): http://www.ipjustice.org/eucd012903.shtml http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_lockout#Legal_design If you aren't interested in reading then I'll make it easy for you.; what it boils down to is that the DVD producing cartel in the U.S. were instrumental in pushing though the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) which through convoluted logic can be used to prevent users circumventing regional lock out codes on their personal DVD players. However this legislation effectively flies in the the face of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) International Copyright Treaty to which the US is an active member. http://www.wipo.int/treaties/en/ShowResults.jsp?search_what=B&country_id=179C http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Millennium_Copyright_Act -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
