Actually from my point of view (being in the US), I believe that region
coding is good. DVDs seem to come out much quicker after the theatrical
release of a movie than they did in the VHS days. I believe that at
least part of the reason is region coding.

Region coding has nothing to do with the quick releases. DVD is where the
money is these days, so that's why they're hot to get things onto DVD.

Region coding is stupid, but not from Hollywood's POV. They very much want
to keep US people from sampling what the rest of the world has to offer.
