Regional DVD區域的DVD

Ever been tempted to watch a Region 1 DVD in the UK, or maybe you ordered a Region 3 from one of those inexpensive importers from Hong Kong and are now happily viewing it in Region 2.從未誘惑觀賞一個地區的1張DVD在英國，或者，您訂購了第3區，由其中一人便宜，進口商從香港，並正在愉快地查看它在區域2 。 Why shouldn’t you?為什麼不應該你呢？ Why should companies prevent users from purchasing DVDs in the global marketplace and watching them on whichever machine in whichever country they like, provided they’re not pirated?為什麼要公司阻止用戶購買的DVD在全球市場上和看著他們對兩者機在哪個國家，他們想，只要他們不是盜版？ It’s ridiculous that I might be working in the US buy a couple of Region 1 DVDs to watch there, but then wish to bring them to the UK to watch again at home, only to find that this is disallowed by the license and impossible if I haven’t got a multiregion DVD player anyway.它的可笑的是，我可能工作在美國購買一對夫婦的地區一DVD來觀賞，但當時希望把這些英國觀賞，再次在家裡，才發現這是不允許的，由許可和是不可能的如果我沒有得到一multiregion DVD播放機，無論如何。

Well, there are “hacks” all over the web that allow you to unlock many DVD players so that you can do just that.好，有“駭客”所有網站，讓您解鎖許多DVD播放機，讓您可以做到這一點。 But, a new patent from Philips might soon tie the region lock code to the copy-protection encryption embedded in the DVD, which won’t physically make too much difference to users but will bring those hacks into the fold of “tampering with the copy protection system”, which comes under copyright law in the US and elsewhere.但是，一個新的專利，飛利浦可能很快配合該區域的鎖密碼到版權保護的加密嵌入在DVD光碟，這將不是身體作出太多的差異給用戶，但會帶來那些駭客進入倍發言人說： “與複製保障制度“ ，這是根據著作權法在美國和其他地方。

Hacking the region on your DVD could then become a copyright infringement and land you with a $1m fine or even a jail term.黑客入侵該地區對您的DVD便可以成為一個侵犯版權和土地，你與一百萬元的罰款或什至刑期。

I learned of this potential new problem for global DVD users everywhere on the我知道這個潛在的新問題，全球DVD的用戶，到處就 New Scientist inventions site新科學家發明網站 and tried to follow their link to the US patent office only to be counfounded with the following error:並試圖效法他們的鏈接到美國專利局不僅要counfounded與以下錯誤：

“The Query ( ) was unparseable (Empty search box ). “查詢（ ） unparseable （空白的搜索框） 。 A common cause of this is neglecting to enclose multi-word terms in “s.一個共同的事業，這是忽略了附上多字的條款，在“第 That is, if you entered safety syringe as a term, you need to use “safety syringe” instead.”也就是說，如果您進入安全注射器作為一個任期內，您需要使用“安全注射器” ，而不是“ 。

So, I redid their original search and found the actual patent所以，我redid原有的搜索，並發現實際專利 here這裡

And now, a word to the wise: Take some time to compare DVD prices and do some research on which DVD players will play which regions from which you want to watch DVDs.現在，一言以明智：需要一些時間來比較DVD的價格和做一些研究，其中DVD播放機將發揮哪些地區從您想要觀賞DVD 。
