[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1821674, member: 46727"] Region settings are the same in Windows and Linux, nothing different there. It's simply another anti-piracy thing to prevent the pirating of commercial DVDs. Although nowadays there are work arounds that are available to copy a commercial DVD for your own archival purposes. The region settings were implemented primarily to prevent US commercial DVDs being played outside of the US and Canada and duplicated. The duplicates were then sold on local markets. [/QUOTE]
