These companies buy the rights to reproduce to the owner of the material, and then from there on out the company that bought rights to reproduce it, make all prophet.
Second question. When you buy thing Region 1 (America) do the creators of the anime get royalties from that? Basicly, there are some anime that I would like to support and others I may not care to. Kinda walking the line on being supportive of good anime and unsupportive of bad.
If you mean the HKs they don't pay shit the mosty they pay is to get the source material for the english tracks. Otherwise they commonly just rip them right off TV.
As far as R1s go unless im mistaken the companies just pay the Japanese company to get the rights to sell the title and are given the masters for it. Than that's where it ends they hold the license for a certain ammount of time and they can release it and keep printing in till that runs out at which point they can either renew or not depending on the company and the licensors.
