Show me in writing where when I 1) purchase a DVD player, that I am entering a license agreement not to modify the hardware/firmware of the player.
or 2) purchase a DVD, that I am entering a license agreement not to view the material using a multi-region player. If you can do that, then you have a valid point regarding the legality of either action. If you can't, then I believe your understanding of the issue is faulty. Tom C. >From: "J. C.
