i like regional encoding.
Think about it.. different cultures have different levels of moral acceptability. Would you want to wait a year while some comittee votes on what is and isnt acceptable content to be shown in all regions.. meanwhile the market for the DVD diminishes. With regions I can be sure that if the MPAA finds the content acceptable for me (which is another issue entirely, but i wont get into it) then i will receive my consumable good to market ASAP. Meanwhile the muckity mucks in Asian have to wait for their movie to be cleaned/edited/subbed, etc..
Plus.. it's a world economy..
dont bitch because you cant get everything that is available everywhere..
If you live in a region 3 country and want to watch region 1 material.. import, gjump through the hoops you have to to see it, or move. Hell be glad you even have the freedom to do said things.. importing media in some cases is very questionable in terms of legality anyway..
