DVD restriction also extended to the completely unfair use of REGION ENCODING. They divied up the world like a pie, so they could keep a stranglehold on the markets. Backfired of course. Cheap, chinese hardware manufacturers built in handset codes to strip the region lock off their players. All you need do is tap in a few numbers on the remote and you can play a DVD from anywhere in the world.
