It would be useful for us readers, and might also cause those companies to think twice before they consider making other similar deals.

It's sad that even the department of Justice has been corrupted (by Microsoft) for years (since the late 90s). There are seniors who admit this too (openly) We never really forgot about what Microsoft did in Portugal.

I think not.

LG manufactures inexpensive computing peripherals, e.g. dvd's. Just messing with the region settings, which seems to be a form of DRM on that device, can render it useless.
