Just the way it works. Not a problem though: Google 'DVD43' for a software based solution.

VideoLAN will also play any region DVDs without requiring a region change on your drive.

Also, Google for your drive's manufacturer - for most drives you can get hacks that remove the region change limit. Basically limitting region changes is required by the DVD licensing body but drive manufacturers don't make it secure from hacks because they don't care if their users can circumvent the limit.
