well I was not planning to join in , just lurking, but as you keep repeating that claim.....

Whenever I've bought a region 1 DVD from amazon uk, there's a warning, first about compatibility but then saying UK CUSTOMERS CAN ONLY BUY ONE COPY of this import.

Here's the exact wording, I added bold to the relevant bit
Region 1 encoding (requires a North American or multi-region DVD player and NTSC compatible TV. More about DVD formats.)

Note: you may purchase only one copy of this product.

so I can't buy copies to give to my friends or family.


Luckily for them it is still legal for me to buy DVDFAB's excellent dvd copying software, despite USA.s best attempts to suppress the web site

but, ignoring that irresistible aside, would you care to rationalize that & square it with your totally legal - no restrictions claim & explain why I can't obtain legal copies to use as gifts.
