Nobody in retail in the US will discuss multi-region DVD players. The fear
is of the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that has a clause
about "circumventing a scheme used to restrict access to copyrighted
material". Even though region coding is not a copy-protection scheme.
It's interesting that region coding violates the WIPO international
copyright treaty and has been officially nullified in Hong Kong and
Australia. But the US has the finest lawmakers money can buy...
