When I lived in Paris (around two years ago), the Virgin Megastore
there -- hardly an underground operation -- had an entire section of
Region 1 DVDs.  I bought a couple myself, and one of them had dire
warnings about the alleged illegality of selling it outside the US and
Canada, which didn't seem to bother the store.
