Re: Region Locks
"Things like that are illegal in every other industry. Why should they be allowed for media rightsholders?"
Well not quite. Weren't Tesco sued for selling Levi jeans that they legally bought in the US, then legally imported into the UK, paying all required duties and taxes? (note to our cousins Tescos is a retailer in the UK, and Levis here cost ~50x the price in the States)
Didn't Levi say that they owned the "rights" to the mark "Levi", and that Tesco were selling things that had that mark on without permission? (IMHO not the fault of Tesco - it was Levi that put the mark on the jeans!)
However, you'll see the words "Rights" again. The big companies have them, the rest of us can just FK off it seems.
