They are an anachronism caused by rights holders trying to maintain the status quo business model.
The result of that would be much higher prices for the consumer. Every distributor would have to buy world-wide distribution rights, and the potential increase in sales would almost certainly not cover those additional costs, which would inevitably be passed on to the consumer. Are you willing to pay double or triple the existing price?
