This is true. The movie industry has convinced the makers of DVD 
players to cooperate with the "region" scheme (for the most part), and 
likewise the major retailers, because they need each other to a large 
extent.

The convergent interests of these organizations make it beneficial for 
them to follow the region code scheme.

Smaller businesses like world-import.com are willing to forego the 
cooperation of the movie industry so they're free to sell multi-region 
players.

The law doesn't enter into it.
