300 Movie - Hardly any protection

[James]

That's not region 1.

It *is* region one:

Media is locked to region(s): 1!

If you check out the chart, you will see that Warner Bros. does not ever put severe protections on there DVD discs. It all depends on the companies budget.

What is that supposed to mean? Warner cannot afford the cost of a copy protection?
EDIT: I believe they care about the quality of their product, and we all know that the "new" protections like Arccos violate DVD specifications and therefore degrade the quality / value of the product.
Warner (New Line) is a good company. As was Paramount / Dreamworks until they released "Blades of Glory" R1.

Whoops, I saw the Drive Region which said 2, so I assumed the disc was too..

Maybe Paramount wants to try something new and they were tired of MacroVision.

AFAIK Paramount never used MacroVision RipGuard or anything similar.

If a DVD movie has both CSS and APS it means that the disc is protected with MacroVision patent therefore, the company is paying the MacroVision fee.

You are comparing apples and oranges. If they use Arccos (or something similar) now and APS and/or CSS, they still have to pay fees to Macrovision.
And APS & CSS are defined in the DVD standard, the other crap is not.
