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. |
Presumably to prevent people bulk-buying to re-sell, because although it's legal to BUY out-of-region, it's not legal to SELL. ie it's legal for you to buy a Region 1 DVD from the US, but it wouldn't be legal for you to resell those DVDs in the UK.
