Comment 18 for bug 502426

I suppose it is the logical conclusion, since changing the DVD drive
region code allowed me to watch most DVDs I own (region 4). As far as I
know, libdvdcss SHOULD be able to do a workaround through this region
restrictions, but since it wasn't working with original region code
(region 1) and when I changed it to the same region as my discs (region
4) it started to work, we can get to the conclusion that libdvdcss is
doing its job partially, only, being able to decode protected DVDs, but
ONLY if the drive's region code is the same as the disc's.

And I can see why most people didn't notice this bug before: most people
DO have DVD drives with the same region code as the discs they own.
