Agreed BUT here in Sweden the consumer electronics stores ADVERTISE (
openly )
about 'non-region' standalone DVD-players. ( i.e. a new marketing term
).
In that case, If I buy one ( lets say that I know nothing about the
region scheme ) am I performing an illegal act ? I would consider this
to be
perfect example of 'good faith'. =


Also this disturbes me, that something is allegedly illegal but should
no be so, it goes totally against 'free market' and everything else said
about
market economics. I.e. the market ( that's us :) the consumers ) should
decide
and dictate the demands for the suppliers ( oohh that's also us forgot
about
being on the piclist ). It should not be the other way around !

But it all goes in the way of the lawyers, the US-way, patent everything
and sue everybody.Yuk! ( which is not helping either mankind or general
progress )
