@petko That problem also persists for physical media:

Even if one were to legally buy the DVD or blu-ray of CyberSix, one would still have the problem that it won't play outside the region it was released in.

- So >85% of all people cannot legally play the blu-ray version of CyberSix.

- OFC that problem doesn't apply to those that ~obtained~ it elsewhere...

@tankgrrl @petko except three issues:

1. One would still have to obtain an out-of-print disc and get it imported.
2. That still doesn't fix the fact that it's not legal even if one owns the disc (at least in any juristiction that cares)
3. If one has to pirate anyway, one may just torrent it anyway.

Granted, I don't shed a tear for companies that don't even want to sell me a legal copy.

It's just bad cuz I'd rather pay for a legit copy.
