Not the same in the EU as far as I know. Digital goods have to uphold a certain standard.

Unfortunately we don’t all live in civilized places like the EU. Some of us live in “shithole countries,” like the United States.

This might only affect US customers as these studios typically create separate licensing deals in each country. An example is when the new Star Trek shows began airing, everywhere in the world got to watch it on Netflix while US customers had to subscribe to CBS All Access (now Paramount+).
