Which means, in other words. If I purchase a DVD legally, then I have the right to view said DVD on any piece of MY eqipment. What's more I can Legally watch DVDs I have purchased Legally in other countries on my equipment.

Or at least Norway recognises it as such.

No, it dosn't.  Not unless you go to Norway that is.  Had DVD Jon been tried in the states he might just be in jail now.  And who do you think you are anyways, thinking you have a right to watch the DVD you bought on the computer you bought?  

Calum:
in the states you only own the DVD's raw materials so in its purest form, the law prohibits you from actually viewing anything other than blank DVDs without the express permission of the distributor. Distributors of DVDs routinely grant you permission to watch the DVD, that's what all that crap is scrolling up at the start of movies and so on, but there's a lot of terms and conditions attached. That one about not showing the movie publicly could be legally interpreted to mean that you must watch the DVD on your own, for example, and stop watching it if somebody else enters the room.
