Same (Japan). I wonder how much this sort of nonsense (i.e. region-specific releases) increases piracy in the places that don't benefit. It's not like it's any harder to hop on a torrent in one place than anywhere else, and seeing one region get the release while you're left out in the cold pretty much ruins any moral objection you may have had to just grabbing it. Anyway, I hope it's a lot (the increase in piracy, I mean).

It is not just this, each time they do something stupid a few people learn how to download and hide their tracks and it is not like they are going to go and buy it if it later becomes available legally. Heck, in Denmark you can't buy a single video on iTunes, not even old out of date stuff or even public domain videos. I wonder how many people learned to pirate based on that? At the very least they are loosing revenue (especially since this stuff isn't something people will actually find in a normal store) most likely they are training future pirates.
