Just seen this on the BBC News web page:
The European Commission is to launch an
investigation into the high price paid for DVDs
by European consumers.
Mario Monti, the EU's competition commissioner
has written to Hollywood film companies asking
about DVD pricing policies.
DVDs bought in America are cheaper than
those available on this side of the Atlantic,
But because of a regional disc tagging
system, which can make US discs
unreadable on foreign players, European
customers cannot take advantage of the lower
American prices.
"EU consumers are artificially prevented
from purchasing DVDs from overseas," Mr
Monti said.
Could Mr Monti be more wrong??
