I already stated this multiple times, my contention is that there is a legal issue preventing the sale of non region 1 DVD players in the USA. There may be some off brand units slipping thru the cracks or loopholes being sold by some minor retailers, but I dont think that means that there isnt a legal issue of some sort, like worldwide DVD liscensing agreements, preventing the sale of these by the major retailers/suppliers in the USA. Is that clear enough for you now? jco

JCO, I thought earlier you said you weren't actually contending anything because you used the words "from everything I've heard". Are you contending something or not? I've heard lots of things in life, but I usually don't contend and argue my point based on things I've heard. I try to do it based on things I know. My contention is that buying and using both non-region 1 DVD's and multi-region DVD players in North America in order to view said DVD's in North America is not illegal or unlawful. I make that contention because numerous legitimate licensed business are allowed to sell those products. I don't need to go check the laws on this before I go make a purchase, just as I don't go check the laws or make inquiries as to whether the food I purchase at the grocery store was grown and handled according to government regulations. In fact I'm sure there's a higher chance the food I ate last night at my dinner table was handled by illegal, undocumented aliens, than there is that anything illegal has been done with regard to multi-region DVD players in North America. I don't have to prove anything. You are the one that started out contending something was illegal, and unless you've provided evidence that it is, in subsequent posts I haven't read, the ball is still in your court.
