Blockbuster Chief: End DVD Region Codes

Posted by timothy on from the talk-about-a-mixed-metaphor dept.

Xesdeeni writes "Blockbuster's President/COO Nigel Travis has called for the elimination of the DVD region code. At issue is the situation when a movie is released in one country several months before it is released in another. He points out that pirates 'can drive a cart and horses through these holes in the release schedule.'"

    Also ditch the crazy attempts at copy protection. I rented Legaly Blonde 2. The FBI warning got stuck in an endless loop on both a standalone DVD player (Classic brand) and a computer.

    Wow. That's amazing. I liken this statement to admitting, on slashdot, in front of millions of readers, that I'm a huge fan of Brittney Spears, I can't wait for the new N*Sync album, and goatse.cx just makes me fantasize about Justin Timberlake...

    While you're at it why don't you just tell us about your carebear sheets and get it over with?
