This is one of the things that annoys me about drm. Large multi-national corporations are the first in-line to make good use of this world-wide economy by minimizing their manufacturing and distibution costs. But when it comes to the consumer we have to put with with artificial restrictions such as drm to prevent us importing and using products. Again ebooks from amazon and dvd's/blu-rays region coding being good examples.
