Uh thats for DVD movies I think, since there are different regions you can't for example watch dvd's sold in asia on a dvd drive bought in europe, well you can change the current dvd region of the drive, but you can only do so three times. Unless you flash the firmware with a region free one, or...

I guess those users that got windows preinstalled when buying their pc from companies like Toshiba, Dell, hp etc, is screwed since most likely all they got with their system is a "restore cd" which they use to return the system to factory state, which means loosing everything on their harddrives....
