Tbh, I think it's a bit of a scumbag move considering Severin sells their titles to the UK direct from their site, and I doubt they have UK rights to all their films.
It seems like a common trait among American labels. They must have bitched and moaned about their US competitors for so long they think it's common practice outside their country too.

Besides when you look at the US / Canada / Central American market what will a couple of hundred (if that) sales from Britain do? Nothing.
