I don't see anything illegal about it. I own plenty of legally bought dvd's from europe that I watch in the US. Heck even bang and olufsen unlocks your dvd player if you ask for it.
Sorry but I bought my media and I have the right to watch it. Don't care about artificial locks on regions. Because oh someone decided that they want to time the releases so that you can't buy a US dvd before it is released in the EU.
