I've also noticed that backing track companies are mostly not located in the USA.

I asked and got the answer that in the USA you have to pay for a huge number of copies up front, whether you sell them or not. In the EU you pay the royalties for each one you sell, nothing up front.

I don't know if that's true or not, because I didn't consult an expert, but if it is, it's easy to see why most are overseas.
