(or was it '84?) Milo & Co. are holding the Meadow Party convention in a sketchy hotel in the Tenderloin a couple of blocks from the Moscone Center where the DNC is having their convention. Some befuddled Democratic delegate wanders into the Meadown Party convention by accident. "Meadow party, huh? Who are you guys running?" "A penguin and a dead cat." (DNC delegate looks in the direction of Moscone for a moment.)

In 1949, a localized version was broadcast in Quito, Ecuador. It let to a panic, with police and fire departments being mobilized.

I'm also in Australia and the last time I was in the market for a DVD/BluRay player, about three years ago, I noticed it was almost impossible to buy a player that didn't play multi region DVDs and NTSC.

I think America has more enforcement, and Australia has more need to play imported videos. DVD discs can be manufactured play-anywhere or multi-where by setting digits in one binary byte, so whoever made your disc sat down and deliberately decided to stop you from playing it. With the help of the technologists who made DVD players to work that way in the first place. Although, back in the day, we also had completely incompatible TV sets. But on a computer, that probably doesn't matter any more. And, in fact, many DVD players, and computer DVD drives, can be commanded with some secret spell to ignore the region byte. Or, that used to be so. Like, switch it on while holding the remote control upside down... or nearly that odd.

Used to be, some drives had an option to change the region if you
went into the hardware drivers. The computer I'm on right now will
allow that - but only five times. I belive there are contractual
restrictions in the US on this related to the use of the patents and
trademarks associated with the DVD specs.
