Kui oled ostnud täiesti legaalselt USAst DVD-plaadi peal filmi, siis seda ei õnnestu Sul reeglina Eestist ostetud DVD-mängijaga vaadata, kuna plaadil ja mängijal on erinevad “regioonid”. Mõne DVD-mängija puhul on võimalik regiooni muuta või teha mängija üldse “regioonivabaks” ja nõnda vaadata kõikjalt ostetud DVD-filme. Samuti on võimalik igasuguste regioonidega DVD-filme vaadata arvutis üldlevinud tarkvaraga nagu näiteks VLC Media Player. ACTAga võivad kõik need tegevused muutuda kriminaalkuritegudeks.
Kordame: ACTA üks tõlgendus võimaldab muuta kriminaalkuriteoks legaalselt ostetud filmide vaatamine.
Tänapäeva Eestis on selline tegevus karistatav põhimõtteliselt vaid juhul kui see pannakse toime ärilisel eesmärgil või seda aktiivselt reklaamitakse. ACTAga muutuks see karistatavaks kui filmivaataja on “regioonide” kontseptsioonist teadlik ja nendest meelega mööda läheb.
DVD-filmide regioonid on vaid üks näide. Sarnaseid “kaitsemeetmeid”, mis segavad legaalselt ostetud toodete vaatamist-kuulamist-kasutamist on mitmeid ja ka nendest “mööda hiilimine” saab kriminaalkuriteoks.
