This is yet another case that punishes the masses for the few law breakers. A simple copy protection scheme that keeps a DVD from being burned to another copy is all that is necessary. Software that is designed to crack or bypass such copy protection should be made illegal and anyone caught with the software or illegal copies should be punished. The end. If I'm buying my movies legit, there should be no consequences for me, the legal owner...

"Why is region free a mistake?"
I've explained that.
"Why should consumers have to pay more for movies when pirating goes on?"
That's business, but my point isn't about what is right or wrong, only about what is going on.
Thanks to kenobi after I got him to ban my old account (dallas) after someone hacked into it and being ok with me coming back under a slightly different username. I appreciate our communication in the PMs. Also I want to give a big thank you to vgchartz for being one of the cooler websites around.
Oh, and I'm still the next Michael Pachter
