I wonder why the change. Perhaps those manufacturers alway had restrictions, 
and one or several have decided to start enforcing them, so they started 
following the rules for them all. If so, then we should expect this to start 
affecting all the reputable dealers

I know you can't get Sennheiser stuff from them either. Perhaps the online free 
for all is coming to an end.

I'm sure you'll always be able to find someone who'd be willing to do it, but 
I'm not sure I'd trust them.
