I wouldn't "rather", but I think it might be simpler.
I also seem to recall hearing about discs whose region-coding
was done in such a way that they would not play
on unlocked players.

Mostly, it just occurred to me that falling DVD player
prices make the whole "region code" concept rather
silly.  (Movie-industry paranoia backfires again? ;-)
