Let's get working, rather, on our^ own DVD players. They can't stop that, can they?
If those players try to circumvent the region-coding features or "enhancements", it's likely they can be considered "devices that circumvent an access control" under - you guessed it - the DMCA.
I swear, the entire previous Congress and President should be charged with collusion and racketeering for handing a few technology cartels a near-chokehold on several industries related to software and entertainment through a horribly anti-consumer, anti-hacker, anti-individual law that gives as many advantages as possible to the cartels that wrote said law. The DMCA handed a lot of power to a few people, to the detriment of many, and is one of the more corrupt laws of recent times, passed by a corrupt body of government.
Excuse me while I go puke now.
