DVD Regional Formats
Does naybody know what the deal is with the regional formats on DVD players? I saw a DVD that said that was released for Australia and England I think. It said that it would only work in region 2 and PAL format players. I looked thorugh my book to find that mine is a region 1 format. A guy I work with told me that you can play a region 2 disk in a region 1 player but not vise versa. But he also said that he had a 3000 foot well. What is the difference between these players is what I think I am trying to get at. I just can't understand how a movie that was centered around the deserts of Arizona isn't even released on DVD in the U.S.

It's becuase the televisions in England & Europe are a different system than North America.
Audio is the same butt he video is different.

Naw the chinese just would copy everything anyway. The coding allows the major studios to control the distribution of the films on dvd. Sort of like the crap they are trying to pull now with computers

The recording (music record labels) and motion picture industries want to make it illegal to make digital copies of "copyrighted" material. If the laws are passed, it will be illegal for you to to copy your (one's you've legally purchased) CDs, records, tapes, TV programs, etc to any digital device... including computers, personal music devices, Tivo, etc.

Ya ,Our idiot heritage minister Sheila Craps suggests that there be a tax of 400% (this is not a typo) on hardware that can copy anything.
Plus a tax on CDR's,CDRW's,Tapes, what ever you can record to.
She says the money will be directed to the musicians becuse of the lucritive free market of copying music.
What see seems to forget is that people back-up/save their files to Cd's now instead of floppies.
To her apparently, it doesn't matter.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 08-Apr-02 AT 09:23 PM (EST)]One word: COMMUNISM
If that was to take place with the 400% tax, it would probably only hurt the retailers. Most people would just start smuggling it up from the U.S. or buying it off of Ebay. I can just imagine it now. All eyes taken off of Drugs and illegal weapon smuggling, possesion and all of that kind of stuff to start cracking down on CD copying. Its a mad world I tell ya.
