QUOTE(rainy~days @ Mar 2 2009, 09:48 AM) how about those american dvd with region lock?, it's original but it's not suppose to be view by this part of asian region. even if we use region free lock won't it still means we are watching it illegally? Technically yes.....but the reason for region lock was supposedly to lock movies sold in "cheaper area" i.e. Asia, SEA from being sold in more "Expensive area" like the USA, Europe. But here we are buying expensive region 1 from USA so I think it helps them more than it impedes them.

The only way we can afford cheap original anime is when local distribution companies buy the licenses and distribute it for malaysian market. The problem is most likely it will be malay subtitles since majority of people seem to prefer BM as their language. If its english its harder since english usually means region 1 so its hard for them to sell the license at a cheaper region 3 price if your anime will be subtitled in english.
And i'm sure ppl know about the ODEX saga with their crappy translations and VCD-only releases.
