Description: UN Resolution #5: DVD Region Removal (Category: Free Trade; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Argument:
The U.N.
Realizing:
-A- The rights and privileges of nations and regions involving all other media types, including: Blu-ray disc, High Density DVD (HD DVD), Universal media disc (UMD), super Audio CD (SACD), DualDiscs, other record types, and nearly all computerized were not mentioned at all in the previous resolution.
-B- Other media supports exist or will arrive soon on the market and should be also free of a “regional system.” This resolution only covers one type of media which is only effective during the time in which DVDs are used as standardized media.
Regretting:
-C- This resolution is poorly written, and contains numerous grammatical errors which can be embarrassing to the U.N.
-D- This resolution is illogical to only include one type of media and this makes it in a way unenforceable and meaningless.
In light of this resolution ineffectiveness and failure to expand to other media types, be it resolved that:
Resolution #5, “DVD region removal” is repealed
