Dear all,

We are trying to implement the ability to play DVDs from other regions on
the computers in our language classrooms and in our language center.  My
understanding is that this ability is usually linked to the CD-Rom drive
and whether it will accept DVDs from other regions.  It seems that one
solution to this is to have a drive dedicated to a particular region.  My
question is one regarding copyright that has recently come up at my
university in discussing this issue.  The concern was that trying to
"trick" a CD-Rom set up for regions 0/1 to also accept other regions might
be illegal.   This doesn't seem to have been a problem with multi standard
DVD-players, so I'm not sure why this would be any different.  However, I
am no expert in this area.

Have any of you also run into this issue?

Best wishes,
Sonja
