Why not do a special Ubuntu for USA and Japan and then the rest of the world can use a Ubuntu with all mediacodecs like Mint doing?After all most countries have different laws about this matter.

Most Linux user have there eyes open for alternative and can change very quickly if necessary.
If you remove all codecs you just forcing people to go over to Linux Mint, who "works out of the box": www.linuxmint. com/download. php
