Re: Conspiracy or cockup?
"I do remember when DVD players were new, the ones with the region lock override hacks "leaked" in the public domain were the ones that everyone wanted."
For some small value of "everyone". At the time, the market for "grey" importing of out of region DVDs was fairly small and specialised. The average buyer probably had little to no awareness of DVD region locking, let alone the ability to override it on some DVD players.
