The opposite of the usual bullshit that has it the other way round. Also, the reason for the existence of DVD and BD region coding.

Was about to say exactly this.
Method of Madness:
It's still bullshit even when the US gets it first, mind you.

Oh, we're all agreed, I'm sure.
I've just been reading up on some changes in UK copyright law to come into effect in June. Specifically, the stuff that explicitly makes it legal to copy stuff that you own for your own backup, format-shifting for copying to players, and the like. The commentary (on the government site) explains that it is still legal for companies to include copy-prevention in the originals, and still illegal to deliberately circumvent copy-prevention - but makes the point that the companies should see copy prevention as lessening the value of their product to consumers (because it prevents an otherwise legal usage), as so they should seriously consider whether they want to continue it as it is likely to decrease their revenue.
Method of Madness:
For a DVD release that's delayed here, I can always just pirate the DVD once it's released anywhere to tide me over until it's released here, where I will then buy it. Still illegal, but not unethical, at least I don't think so.
For a theatrical release that's not really an option.
