I heard from a friend of mine who works for an organisation that deals with China a fair bit that the DVD licensing costs make up the majority of the cost of cheapie DVD players. They have people who fly over there, buy a NZ$35 (= ~US$20) player to use for a week while they're working there, and then throw it away when they leave. These are made so cheap because the manufacturers there aren't paying the DVD licensing costs.
