Please DO look at the IPJustice website. I think it "clearly" refutes
some of the "clear" interpretations expressed below. Fair use rights
are being unfairly challenged by those who want to profit, and it's not
"clear" at all that they have any legal, let alone moral right to do
so.

Reading the transcript, it is clear that under current interpretation
of
the DMCA by the Copyright Registrar rule making committee, there are
certain instances of playing a non region 1 DVD that are not viewed as
a
violation of USC 1201(a)(1).
[...]
However, playing the DVD on a "region free" player, i.e. one that has
been modified and "circumvents" the "access control" technology as
recognized in DMCA is viewed as a violation of 1201(a)(1).
[...]
The use of software to alter the region change counter on a DVD ROM
drive, although not specifically addressed in these hearings, would, in
my opinion, likely be considered a similar violation.
Stay tuned to the Copyright Office web site for their upcoming ruling.
Also, the IP Justice web site:
