    Back in the day a good workaround was to go buy the cheapest off brand sketchy dvd player you could find. The manufacturers were so cheap they never implemented region locking.

      Some regular ones also had a unlock code if you called the manufacturer and complained

      I wonder if you can specifically order a player offline for this

      There’s a lot of sketchier things easily accessible on Amazon, a player for an outdated media format seems pretty tame in comparison
