Isn't this only illegal because of the DMCA, a law for which NZ doesn't
yet have an equivalent? It's not a copyright crime to watch a DVD that
you own (you aren't copying it) no matter how you do it.
What you guys are thinking of is 'No legal way in the US'.
Of course, I may well be wrong, but that was my understanding.
