Rant Post

Previous (Full) Rant Post

No real directions, but this isn't a place for debate. It's a place for RANTIN' AND RAVIN'.

There is a rule: There is to be no calling out anyone by name in Rants, Chatter, or on the Meme itself. This only produces an atmosphere of animosity and it is no longer tolerated. If you see any names being ranted about, please link us at Page-A-Mod. Thanks! :)

Please do not use this post or any other posts in the meme for sharing of download or streaming of links that aren't the official source of the content.

Actually, you're wrong about almost everything in this comment. Region free players are legal in the EU, and the EU even looked into whether region coding was illegal under EU conventions. They certain did not require it or enforce coding via law. Region coding exists because of corporate licensing agreements and corporate protectionism, not law, and region free players are and always have been legal hardware. I can't even find a record of this supposed place where corporate trade agreement region coding has been codified into national law.

You're also entirely missing the point that the comment was made by an American, and the response was directed at that American. And SOPA and PIPA have absolutely nothing to do with this.
