It was an attempt at an explanation. Usually when rights to show a motion picture or television show or whatever are granted, it;s only for specific countries. I know when I worked college radio way back when, the rights sticker that was attached to records only granted permission to play that record within the US. Payments are made depending on the location of where something is being played.

It also boils down to money. I;m sure they're getting more money when a US based person rents one of those movie when compared to someone in Africa for example.

Just trying to help

My apologies.
