Yeah, I find it funny that people don’t remember DVD DRM. I guess it wasn’t noticeable to Americans, but you move from Latvia to the UK and suddenly all your movies are duds. You can at least use a VPN today to circumvent this bull shit in many cases, no such luck back then.

P.S. What was even worse for people living in xUSSR countries is that part of DVDs came from Russia (region 5) and part came from Europe (zone 2, because many xUSSR countries were assigned zone 2). The same was true for DVD players. So it was always a puzzle what to buy. Fuck this shit.

-web

-iOS

-android

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:
