i read an article about this exact same issue a few months ago.....i cant remember which magazine but it is an international one...
the article says that, now in japan there are a lot of people selling OS version of cds in japan, because the price is much cheaper and can hence attract more customers. many japanese don mind buying the OS version either as the poduct is basically the same. under the current japanese law, there is no law the prohibits the sales of parallel imports. the OS versions are legal products and hence they cannot be confiscated as counterfeits. hence japanese recond companies can not do anything about it.
In fact, most countries do not have laws against parallel imports.
