Hi there,
As we are now moving to HD format the inconvenience of the PAL/NTSC factor fades away.
In its place, we have the artificial disabling of Blu Ray playback on Blu Ray players by use of region codes. Something I find wholly unacceptable and illegal.
I have recently contacted the EU Trading Standards office to ask how I can pursue this matter through a legal challenge. I would be very grateful for any help and understanding fellow forum users can provide.
At the end of the day there's a high possibility I will lose my job for this, as I work for a company involved with the big content publishers this action will be targetting.
That said, i firmly believe that as a purchaser and consumer I should be able to play MY discs on any compatible hardware I choose and not be dictated to and manipulated by the content publisher.
I welcome your thoughts and input.
All the best,
Madeupman
