this is where the grey area comes in.
In HK, in all technicallity (and i do know what im saying here), the releases made by companies such as MI, FX, etc.. are LEGITIMATE to produce, but NOT to sell or export.
Confused yet?
They pay the right to produce the items but laws prohibit them from exporting or selling them in HK. No joke. What does that mean? They know they are making them, do they care? Sometimes, that's when they export far too much in a given period and someone has to get busted for it. (FX, MI, AC, every major company has gotten raided, but seem to always come back..amazing).
Now moving to your question, do they see royalties? Nope.
Any monies given out are for the production permit, but beyond that, thats it.
