Hmmm region codes
Weren't they the original way the MPAA and there malingering parasitic cronies enforced their dishonest pricing. Excuse my language but I feel VERY strongly that DRM and region codes are methods used to enforce fundamentally dishonest and monopolistic differential pricing. How dare they call us dishonest.

And as for uncle Bill well who would be stupide enough to trust a guy who sells products that already need fixing virtually every other day and then calls you dishonest if you change your configuration.

DRM is just another method to enforce a monopoly overpricing strategy.
