BBC NEWS | In Depth | dot life | Border controls crumble in DVD land - basically a non-surprising bit of news: dvd region coding was a dumb idea and people have hacked it into irrelevance anyway. People are sick of being screwed; and now we have the technology to screw the manufacturers right back. Perhaps if different region DVDs all had the same content, people wouldn't have been so annoyed. But they did have different content; so people hacked the hardware in order to enjoy the movies they love.
