how to bypass regional protection? - Blu-ray Forum

newlook · 05-13-2008, 09:11 AM

hello all !... what I am about to ask will raise many eyebrows, although I have to ask it... I just bought a SONY DSP-S300 in Australia and evidently it has a region B protection for BD and a region 4 protection for DVDs; being a huge movie fan (I already have over 40's BD in my collection); I can't wait until local releases of Blue-ray discs... so I was wondering if there is a crack that I can download that will bypass that little inconvenience?.... TIA

PS : do manufacturers actually know that pirated copies of BD and DVDs are All Regions encoded?... will save us much hassles (and $$$) simply buying pirated copies?...

Where did you get you pirated copies of BD?

It is typical of DRM schemes that they punish the legit users and not the pirates. However there are other reasons for region-coding. It's highly unlikely you can simply "patch" your player to ignore it.
