A bit annoyed with 'Digital Copy'

[Snake-V2]

The purpose of this thread is not to complain as such - more point something to prospective Blu importers.

First off, I'm in the UK and no Blu-rays released over here currently have 'Digital Copys' included with them. I recently imported in 'Rambo' from the US (region free) which included my very first digital copy.

So, I figured I would blast it on the PC and get it transferred over to my iPod touch - may as well make use of it.

Anyway, putting the disc in and selecting the iTunes option I am prompted for my password which I duly enter. I am then faced with the message 'This code is for US/Canadian account holders only'. So I can't actually transfer the digital copy it is (for lack of a better term) region locked! It did, however, let me do the wmv transfer, but that means converting etc and I'm not THAT desperate for it on my iPod.

So why is this? Why have a region free Blu-ray and then region lock the Digital Copy? Seems strange to me. I'm not too bothered in this case as I bought it for the Blu-ray not the additional copy.

I guess it's just a heads up for anyone else importing Blu's with 'Digital Copy' included from the US.

Ummm, thanks for listening!
