Well obviously I'm not a resident of the US so I'm not sure of what you mean when you refer to "the major retailers" but it's fact that there are a lot of retailers within the US that do sell non-region coded DVD players. Whether they are breaking laws in doing so surely is up to the government prosecutors. Asserting that "the very existence of the region coding scheme would make sales of non region 1 coded DVD players in the USA not possible for the scheme to work" is a simple argument. It's sort of like like suggesting that the existence of speed signs and the laws pertaining to speeding will prevent people from exceeding the speed limit. > .And IF you honestly think the > football tape "argument" was actually > a valid argument in this discussion > you would be as big a MORON as he is > for trying to say it was or actually > trying to get anyone to believe it was.....
