Got it. So why is anyone bothered about it? If you buy a locked disc, simply wait for the street date to pass, and, hey presto, unlocked disc.

That said, I don't think it's for piracy at all, I think it's to control the regional release of physical product and licence protection. If it's used at all, and, as we get further into it, I don't think it will be.

Slippery slope... slippery, slippery slope.
