Contra DVD region removal resolution
The Confederation of Foo's UN Ambasador asks the Members to vote *against* the DVD Region Removal legislation.
Foo supports sound economic policy. Though we stipulate that DVD regional restrictions are both frustrating and insulting, intellectual property rights are a *critical* component of our contemporary global economic system. DVD Regionalization is a reasonable and proportionate excerise of property rights.
The bill is simply bad legislation and should be defeated.
Foo predicts *lasting* deleterious effects on the economies of all Member States if the anti-business and sureptitiously anti-consumer DVD Region Removal Resolution is approved.
The government of Jigoku concurs with the Confederation of Foo on the DVD proposal. We feel that this is a steping stone to inter regional isolationism, and being that, it contradicts the idea of promoting peace throughout the world. We also urge other members to vote against this proposal.

The Federation of Illuminosity respectfully must disagree with this decision. DVD regionalisation rather than being an anti-pirate measure, is an anti-people measure. Pirates are always sophisticated enough to work around such protection measures, while ordinary citizens are not, thus it is the ordinary citizens who end up being hurt.
The Federation of Illuminosity also views with some suspicion the motives of entertainment companies in their institution of regionalising content. The Federation feels that this is simply a measure employed by corrupt businesses to increase their grip upon ordinary citizen's lives, a deplorable situation.
If members of our Federation are fluent in an Asian language why should they be denied access to Asian films merely because companies within the region do not see a large enough market in distributing those films here, when they could otherwise have imported it?
The Federation is dedicated to preserving excellent civil and political freedoms for our citizens, and as such urges every UN member to end the tyranny of corporate control and censorship in this so-called IP protection scheme.
