Again the eternal problem rears it's ugly head. ImaginAsian need to sell to the more people the better. But they can't (we can pretty much guess they tried and failed) attract the attention of Amazon etc. So they run with the biggest gun they can find: RightStuf. Problem is that RS simply doesn't the infrastructure like Amazon to deal with overseas customers without asking them for their entire life history. So RS loses out on people (myself included) who won't share their financial details with them. IA loses out because overseas revenues can't be gotten as easily. And the overseas fans lose out forcing them to resort to increasingly expensive but less compromising methods to own these titles. I hope TMS can find a new burn-to-own replication company soon.

They're license is for N. America, and since they have the direct relationship with the licensing party for both broadcast and home media so they have something to lose if they violate that contract. BUT if they sell to a 3rd party, then that 3rd party can do whatever they want with it because ImaginAsian has enough degrees of seperation from them.
