DRM is still a thing, as is region locking
Lots of Youtube videos can’t be seen in some countries for example. Netflix and other streaming platforms show different things on different dates depending on the region.
I remember when it was a thing, because it’s still a thing!
I remember it very well. But once the encryption key for the region lock got onto the internet, fixing your drive was simple.
I only ever bought players that could be region unlocked by a remote control sequence.

Yep. Region-locking is still a thing with video games.
