Thanks Klaus. But I guess my question was more hypothetical and maybe its really for the DVD forum.
If I can legally go out and buy an all-region DVD player for my TV for as little as $30-40 or so on Amazon ....why isn't there an all region player for my Mac?
Steve Jobs was not shy about taking on the record companies when it came to music CDs. It's inconsistent. I'm not advocating piracy of DVDs, not trying to rip anyone off. I would like to legitimately buy a European region DVD (which I can do) and play it on my computer (which I can not)--the movie studios will get as much money as they would have. It's a global market. And heck, I would even buy an all-region computer player if it was offered.
I understand Apple's problem but someone should take this up. If ITunes had everything . . . . I would buy it there.
