Personally I think it should be considered illegal of Microsoft to advertise a High Definition DVD version of Terminator II with no mention on the sleeve of the DRM licence situation and its regional restrictions. After all, we do live in a Global community with readily available "legal" multi region DVD players and importable DVDs dont we?
From my point of view, I have just "legally" bought the DVD from Play USA specifically for the High Definition version and found out that I cant play the movie because I just happen to be in the wrong geographical location and have to acquire this other "Licence". I have a multi-region DVD-Rom player and have spent my hard-earned money "legally" on this DVD, only to find that I cant even access it all, specifically the part I bought it for in the first place. No wonder there is so much piracy around if this is how companies like Microsoft treat their customers. In my opinion, this kind of treatment of genuine customers borders on criminal itself.

Sorry but if you buy a disc from a region not supported then you forfeit your rights as its the IP holder who has the right to restrict his IP.
An MR machine is technically illegal if you use it in such a capacity. to own an MR machine however is legal. (dependent of laws of the land).
Any justification of piracy holds no merit, more so just because you cant have somthing you want. If there was no piracy perhaps we would not have to endure all these tight DRM resrtictions. The more piracy spreads the tighter DRM will become. see next DVD format as example of that.
Would you not protect your IP if it was being distrubuted behind your back for a profit. Im sure you would.
As for T2 you can find elsewhere regular updates for new working proxy servers. But TBH i was not all that impressed with the quality of the T2 transfer. wait for the blu-ray version.
