Thanks Obi….
Anyway, the DVD format was decided upon after a bunch of hare-brained marketroids sat down and said "how do pilfer as much money as possible from the unsuspecting public?"
Marketroid 1 : Oooh I know, we’ll have "regions"
Marketroid 2 : So that we can sell discounted DVD’s to developing countries? Marketroid 1 : Pfft. Who said anything about discounts? We just want to make their lives difficult.
* they all laugh *
Marketroid 2 : Hahaha, that’s great. And let’s lobby to make "unauthorized DVD players" illegal
Marketroid 3 : Brilliant plan! That way people who want to import DVD’s from other regions will have to buy seperate players! More $$$ for us!
* they all applause *
Marketroid 1 : But wait! What if those nasty dirty smelly "open sores" hippies try and break our encryption?
Marketroid 2 : WE ARREST THEM! HAHAHHAHA
Marketroid 3: I don’t think there’s a law we can use to arrest them for decrypting their own DVD’s
Marketroid 1 : Who says they OWN anything? We PWN THEM!
Marketroid 2 : I know, we’ll have the US pass a law to make it illegal
Marketroid 1 : That should be easy, we’ll just shove a huge wad of cash in some senators’ pockets like we usually do
Marketroid 2 : What about worldwide?
Marketroid 1 : Trade agreements
Marketroid 3 : What about rogue nations…like Iran?
Marketroid 2 : We’ll just have the US bomb them
* they all laugh again *
