From the article:
''Major label EMI have confirmed they have secured the DVD for this weekend's Live 8 extravaganza. The entertainment giant have worked out a deal with the organisers which will see them release a DVD of the event in all territories around the world.
However, the DVD will differ from country to country, tailored to include footage from each of the various Live 8 events.''
So, different releases for different countries? Instead of a full Pink Floyd set or The Who performance at Hyde Park, I'll get Linkin Park with Jay-Z?
If they really want us to make this a huge selling DVD, then give us more options. I see very few people wanting to go through the hassle of importing region-coded DVDs when there'll be DVD-rips on all of the major torrent sites.
I do think a complete box set or releases based on venue would help, though I doubt EMI would want to pay for it.
I always appreciated it when Parlophone release a limited amount of Freddie Box Sets in NTSC/Region 1. I don't understand why EMI can't do something similar in this case. Honestly, I could care less about the Tokyo show, but I do want a complete Hyde Park DVD.

They'd better release a DVD box with the complete gig of every venue.
This way it's obvious they'll get pirate copy's.
