Why won OPPO Digital allow region unlocking for DVD?
OPPO Digital has said: The Blu-ray Disc Association does not allow us to support any region unlocking capabilities, even for DVD-Video playback. The people who own the technology, who write the contracts specifying how you may and may not use their property, will not allow region-free playback. If OPPO Digital were to violate those contracts they would be subject to legal action. Why would the BDA care about DVD playback? No one has told me, so I can only speculate. Studio members of the BDA still make DVDs and still want their region coding enforced.
