hi, my name is hashem and i live in jordan.my question is about how can i defeat regional lockout in dvd players and playstation 2 without violating the law. The regional code in jordan is 2 but i want to play dvds which are not region 2(most of them are region 1 because they come from the u.s.a). is installing a modification chip into the dvd player illegal in jordan?and does the legality of defeating the regional lockout depends on where i live or from where is the dvd player or from where did the dvd itself came from .and is buying a region free dvd player legal even if i played dvds which have certain region code on them. same question about playstation 2? note:i brought my playstation2 from china and it is ntsc-j. note:my dvd player is lg. please ask me any questions if you needed.thanks. |

I don't know what's legal in Jordan, but region-free DVD players are easily, if somewhat expensively, available on the web. At least some of the suppliers offer international shipping, although I understand you already own a player. If Jordan has not enacted a law, which might have been forced upon it by treaty with the US, which is a local version of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, then I suspect there's no problem. This law, if in effect, makes it illegal to defeat technical means of copyright protection, under which definition region coding might come. |

Most DVD players can be set to play universal DVDs by using a hidden code built into the firmware. Have a look here and see if your DVD player is listed. Follow the simple instructions and you can play any regional code DVD. If the manufacturers didn't want you to do this they would not make the code so easy to access. |
