RE: [dvd-discuss] Technology Admin comments



So it sounds to me as though I would most likely get in the habit of
decoding and recoding any DVD that wouldn't
play on my player.  If my player is for Region 1, then I would "recode" the
DVD to work in Region 1 players.  That
way I wouldn't lose money on the disc I already bought.  And in so doing I
would be breaking the law, and labeled a
"pirate."  With the speed and power of modern computers this process is not
even labor intensive.

If fair use might require that I remanufacture the DVD, then it's a small
step to see how it may encourage piracy of that DVD to all regions where DVD
players are sold that cannot play it.

What happens is that when in another country the DVD's rented or sold there
do not work. Also the DVD's you buy will not work so the use of the player
being restricted means you cannot use it for overseas disks even in the
country where this disk is
 "legal"
