If you're talking about who I think you're talking about, then there's no deal that I know of (assuming we're still talking about censored paysites here). There's a huge English AV paysite network that studios we work with have been sending DMCA's to and is on IPPA's radar.
For pretty much most of our own licensing deals, we had to meet the studios face to face. Very few (like maybe just 3-4) were OK with doing it all over email and phone. The rest strongly encouraged us to meet them in Tokyo first (or at least before we started putting the movies online). Fortunately licensing success rate from face-to-face meetings = 100%. For many, we were their first ever foreign partners and I think now they are a bit more open to licensing internationally.
