Some time ago the law was changed to actually forbid importing DVDs from any other country (even EU). It caused a lot of outrage and the law was changed back a year later. That's why there was some time when Code1 DVD was forbidden entirely and DVD shop owner were not allowed to buy their stock in Germany, France or Italy for example. They had buy everything at the official Swiss importers at inflated prices. On top of that the importers didn't want to stock many films and limited the choice. Since about two years DVDs may be (commercially and) legally imported again. Much more choice now again and the milking of the consumer was stopped again.
