The same is true with gaming, and has been for quite some time.  In Germany, depicting Nazi imagery is highly regulated, and so games from Wolfenstein to Hearts of Iron have had to show the Third Reich with the German Iron Cross instead of the Swastika, which is banned. In China, depicting skeletons is considered highly offensive and regulated by the Communist Party, and so World of Warcraft had to redesign all of its corpses to appear as "bags" (to loot) on the ground, rather than dead bodies.  It's crazy.

This is why I download unedited original versions of everything that I like and then put it on my Plex Server at home.  It's a nightmare to confront the reality that you no longer own anything, you're just renting it.  Unacceptable, in my view.
