That was originally off the Simpsons UK site by Fox. If you don't already know, I'm looking at getting some imported DVDs which has opened a whole new can of worms in the Region coding thing going on.
RCE is the main culprit that I have just noticed and hope that, like Micro$oft's Palladium, this goes down the shitter real soon. Even the RIAA may give up with their flagrant flouting of the freedom of customer's rights with their CD software that buggers up audio CDs in PCs.
Just thought I'd let ya know that not all of them are out to get us, just the RIAA, Columbia Tristar, Micro$oft and WB.

Yay.
"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

Unsure.

Eh, who cares? Insert the dvd into your computer DVD player and rip it with DeCSS. (I have no idea how you would go about doing this since I don't own anything that can play DVDs

DVD region locking is performed in hardware on computer DVD drives. The various DVD fair-use tools can't be used to read out-of-region disks as they will be rejected by the drive hardware. The only way to read out-of-region disks on computer DVD drives is to install a region-free (cracked) firmware into the DVD drive.Pu-239 wrote:Eh, who cares?

It's not my place in life to make people happy. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to watch me slaughter cows you hold sacred. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to have your basic assumptions challenged. If you want bunnies in light, talk to someone else.
Actually only those made after a certain date. For early models you can just use a software program to handle it without having to use firmware updates.Enlightenment wrote:DVD region locking is performed in hardware on computer DVD drives.
