Sometimes I'm really baffled about all this DVD shit.

First, who the hell makes DVDs that only play on certain
machines? Why not make all DVD's work on all DVD players!??
IS THAT TOO HARD A CONCEPT TO GRASP!?

Now we have some stupid ticker telling us that we can only
change a dvd players region 5 times? Who the fuck is
programming all this stupid shit and why?

But DVD players have always done this.
And it's done because of differing release schedules for
this n this. In the US TV shows go through syndication so
release dates are later than, say, the UK. Films come out
earlier in the US cos they're 'bigger' and 'better' than
anyone else.
Basically, it's all about control and power. They want it so
badly.

Films come out in the US first because they're American
films, just as British films come out here first because
they're British, Chinese come out in China first etc etc.

can someone explain to me why the region can only be changed
a limited number of times? I was going to just let it be,
but this shit has been boggling my mind... why would they
introduce such a pointless limitation via software? IT JUST
DOESN'T MAKE SENSE DAMNIT!!!!
