Sorry I wasn’t clear 
I know why say TOR has the license for Scalzi’s books in the USA, but in countries where they don’t do business some other companies have the license (or in some countries literally no one is authorized to sell).
The question is how you split the take across the companies if you try to deal with a family that has members in different countries.
Business logic as in “I’m writing code to carry out the policy, but what exactly is it in this interesting set of cases!” As opposed to “how can companies even claim to blah-blah”
