Oh, by the way, this was how the whole region coding mess collapsed too - all it takes is one player manufacturer to screw up the whole works. (Or if you're a consumer, to liberate the world.) In DVD's case, it was Apex. That opened the flood gates and there was no turning back. This is just one of the inherent flaws in any sort of DRM - you can't expect the manufacturers to always follow the rules. (Especially when it's in their financial interests not to.)
