So to sum up.
HK rips are similar to R1, though may be a little shadier.
R1 companies buy licensing for a certain amount of time, and sell the product in America.
In either case, the creators of the series don't make money off of the DvD's sold, either by R1 or HK. The Creators make all their money from television stations picking it up, as well as merchandising.
So the only difference between R1 and HK is probably the quality and the ammount of money you'll be paying; no money goes to support the creators. Okay, I got it now.
Thanks guys and gals for clearing that up.
