The solution to this is so simple that it's frustrating these people can't see it. License all of your content for the global audience and refuse any licensing deals that restrict by region. License holders will soon get on board if they're offered fair prices, when the alternative is no audience. Use the cost savings from the engineering efforts on this ridiculous cat and mouse game to fund the additional license fees. Done and done.
