Theoretically DVD region codes are a digital-rights management (DRM) technique created to help film producers to control aspects of a release, including content, release date, and price, according to the region. But you may ask - Why people invent this kind of technology can do nothing but imposing restrictions on playing that item freely?

From perspective of movie distributors, you may understand this easily. As what the public being told, DVD region code is one of approaches that protect copyright and film distribution rights. Yet in another way it is boldly explicit, the DVD region code is made all for amplifying studio’s profits.

It is quite easy to identify which region code of your DVDs is. Usually studios will print a signal to tell customers what the region code they purchased.

DVD Region Code does nothing good to customers! And then the market for so-called Code Free DVD players booms. If proven to be true, even Australian and European courts may just put the heat on Hollywood and manufacturers to discontinue region coding as a marketing practice. New Zealand has been trying to eliminate DVD region code restrictions in that country. However both the public and court gained no edge on distributors since even more powerful restrictions’ out.

As a reaction to the popularity of Code-Free DVD players, "Hollywood" has instituted another layer of coding on region1 DVDs called RCE (Regional Coding Enhancement) which prevents selected region1 DVDs from playing even on Code-Free DVD players.
