The win for consumers in the Sony PS2 court case may open the door to relax the zoning for DVDs. On Friday “Eddy Stevens, a Sydney retailer sued by Sony for selling and installing Playstation modifications”, won the case to sell the chips. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) have previously looked into the use of zoning DVDs to restrict distribution. In their eyes “used to impose extensive restrictions on consumer choice”, believing “regional coding is anti-consumer”.
It’s good to know we have a body on our side here in Australia.
