Software Solution to DVD RPC2 Region Locking?

Martin writes "I just saw the DVD Region-Free utility, the other day. 'It allows you to watch all region DVDs on any DVD drive (especially RPC2) even if it has been locked. You don't need hack DVD drive (flash firmware) which is sometimes dangerous, useless or unavailable.' This seems really significant to me, yet I haven't heard anything about! Is this the first software based solution to RPC2?" Of course, it should be stated that the software mentioned above is for Windows only. Are there other similar pieces of software for other platforms?

    It's a contract, and you have to follow it down to the word.

    In my household, my 5-year old son buys all the DVDs (he gets a big allowance). AFAIK, he cannot legally enter into a contract agreement. He generously allows his parents to watch his DVDs.
