We recently decided to replace our DVD player with a Blu-Ray home theatre system. It was with great excitement that we put it all together, turned the radio to our favourite station and connected our television.
Then came the moment of truth. We popped one of our favourite DVD's in and sat back to watch it. But wait - Error reading disk. What?! Popped the disk in the old player. It works fine. Okay. Not the disk. Tried the new blu-ray player again. Error reading disk. Alas, our Zone 4 blu-ray player will not play DVD's from other zones. Time to call the manufacturer. And the response? "[Manufacturer] appologises for any disappointment this caused. As the player is manufactured for Australia, it will only play Zone 4 disks."
Imagine walking into your local library or bookstore and be told that they are only allowed to stock books from local authors.
