Let me guess, Anime?

Region 1 anime availability sucks. I remember Jack Valenti unashamedly telling an anime fan that he should go buy a second DVD player.

Yeah we should all go buy DVD players for every region we want. Good little consumers. Good sheep.

This whole region coding thing just illustrates what DRM is really about. It's not about stopping "piracy." It's about extending control over sold content beyond what copyright law provides for.

And the fact that we get hosed doesn't matter, because we are supposed to be good little MPAA slaves and give them our money and take their crappy movies.
