Evidently you do not.

Again:

I do not believe the region coding scheme explicitly or implicitly states
that it is a breach of copyright for me to watch it in a region other than
its origin.  Hence I do not believe that any breach of copyright is taking
place.  Hence - and here's the tricky bit - there is no issue.

I shall be checking, however.

IF that is the case, THEN (oh dear, back to BASIC programming) I am not in
breach of copyright, and all further inferences on your part were incorrect.

ELSE
I am in breach of copyright.  In which case I shall make no further claims
that what I have been doing is ethical, moral or legal.

Yes, I think tirade to be wholly applicable - and I don't think it has
anything to do with a language barrier.
