Sorry, but on this topic your cheerleader's leotard is being shredded!

>>> "But if you expect electronics manufacturers to give up their license rights just so you can play a DVD from a different region, you're going to be disappointed." <<<

Oppo has been providing this function since they started manufacturing DVD players without incurring any legal penalties; it has propelled them to the top terms of one box versatility, along with their excellent customer service. Trust me, not offering backwards compatible region flexibility on their upcoming Blu-ray player is a BIG loser for them.

Zone locking for Blu-ray is a totally different matter and is selective by rights holder, so it is far less critical for the consumer at this point, but even that can be by-passed if the customer is willing to double-down and invest in a modded player.

Your efforts to equate film lovers who enjoy foreign fare and demand region flexibility with bootleg enablers or pirates makes you appear foolish; if I were you I'd quit while you're behind (here's a clue: there is no 'ahead' for you on this topic).
