There are DVDs that are only sold in the US, just as there are books that are only sold in the US, but both can be bought by anybody. To suggest that buying a DVD from the US is "wrong" is as silly as saying that buying a book from the US is wrong. Is that what you're suggesting?
The region code on a DVD is meant to prevent that DVD from being watched outside of the region the code says is allowable.

OK, it's not just the US, but region 1 is United States, Canada, Bermuda, Caribbean, U.S. territories.
