The only reason that region coding exists in the first place is because
of the movie studios insistence on it. Who would bother going to the
cinema to see a film when you could already buy it on DVD? Staggered
release dates mean they don't have to print so many copies of a film,
and they can get the stars to various places to promote the film before
it comes out. I can't see that changing - remember, the studios have
their own interests at heart, not ours.
