It is first and foremost about money.
If you can get a Sony film DVD from the states before it is on the cinema here, then you are unlikely to go to the cinema and then buy the Sony Europe DVD.
As the law stands it is not illegal for you to buy or play an imported film. It is however illegal for a retailer to sell a film that has not been passed by the BBFC. That is why you won't see an R1 film in HMV.
