How can they stop you? Unless... no... I don't really think of a way they could stop you.

Digital media that is shipped on disks is zoned, which means that the people who make it have coded it so that it only plays on players from certain zones. With DVD's for instance, America is zone 1, so American DVD players can only play DVD's from zone 1. Although I think zone 0 is neutral, so anywhere can play 0, but I'm not sure on that one.
