    I wouldn't "rather", but I think it might be simpler.
    I also seem to recall hearing about discs whose region-coding
    was done in such a way that they would not play
    on unlocked players.

    Mostly, it just occurred to me that falling DVD player
    prices make the whole "region code" concept rather
    silly. (Movie-industry paranoia backfires again? ;-)
