I find it so frustrating I have to make this choice. I am a Brit, living in Canada, who consumes a mix of content from the Americas, Europe and elsewhere. I don't want to restrict what DVDs I can play. Like the geo-restriction of TV content, which I wrote about earlier, this is just another example of how the technology infrastructure of the 90s and early 2000s has failed to catch up with the reality of the global village we live in today.
Is not just the technology, is the old business model. They don’t know how to make profit without bothering us.
