All rise!
If it was lllegal, then the Momitsu player would probably have been pulled off of ebay the first day it was being offered because Momitsu players are clearly modified. They're being imported and sold in the U.S. as region/zone free in the ebay listings; no problemo.FTR, buying pirated products IS illegal just like that controlled substance you're probably smoking is illegal, but to my knowledge, buying a modified or modifiable player to play legally licensed and purchased DVDs and Blu-rays from other regions of the world is NOT a violation of any law or international law (all taxes and fees are paid up front). Any objection?
If you think any laws are being violated by film collectors having the ability to play their favorite foreign films, then it behooves you to locate the exact statute and link the source (IOW, shit, get off the pot or at least put down the pipe long enough to research your arguable claim). If you can't enter any new evidence, then your objection will be overruled.
I suspect that you'll find players which are sold as region/zone free (or any after market mods that are sold to make a player region/zone free) violate licensing agreements, but that violation would be between the product (player) or modification manufacturer and the BD consortium, cartel or whatever you'd like to call it, and presumes civil law liability resulting from assumed lost revenue (which is entirely dependent upon proving that consumers are inclined to buy products from other regions in preference to purchasing exactly the same items in their own).
Do the research, "counselor" - your arguments thus far have been irrelevant, immaterial and incompetent.
Case dismissed in lieu of appeal to a superior court,
