No one is disputing that. The question was whether or not there was
a requirement to encode all DVDs with CSS region encoding, which
there is not. The only requirement is that all players must have a
decoder which only plays a region encoded disk in the proper region.
If there is no region encoding, then there is no reason to not play
it, at least as it stands today.

It may look like I'm just sitting here doing nothing,
but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away.
If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right!
