Not to mention the ridiculousness of region coding, which is all about a stupid mix of greed and control and which, I believe, promotes 'piracy'. I'd love a legitimate, DVD copy of The Middleman, for instance, but it's not available with Region 2 coding which means while I can buy it, I can't watch it. (And those sites that do stream US TV don't allow other parts of the world to watch.)

India doesn't region code its DVDs, leading to massive shopping sprees every time we go there.
