Totally agree on this part. There's no need to link it as distributor, since we don't link actual physical shops, we should do the same for digital releases.

I've crawled iTunes to identify 3 of those:
http://www.rightsscale.co.jp/ - 45802042***** barcodes
http://www.elicense.co.jp/ - 45801221***** barcodes in 2012, I do not know what barcode range they moved to in 2013.
http://www.crypton.co.jp/ - 45118209***** barcodes, mostly assigned to http://karent.jp/ but not exclusively so
This is interesting, I have a question though: where can you find the barcode for a specific iTunes release? I've tried to look around but I found nothing, just iTunes IDs or whatever.

Also I'm not sure whether or not we should link those, and if Distributor is the correct term.
