I can't say I know much about the EU digital market thingy but would streaming be affected? I thought it was only for things you can download.
Also, wouldn't it mean that if Crunchyroll has the rights for one country in the EU then the whole of the EU could access it?
I thought it was supposed to be along the lines of "if you offer something in one country in the EU then it should be available to all of the EU at the same price", kind of like a digital version of breaking down trade barriers. Depending on how it works, the Japanese licensors might think they're just giving rights for a limited part of the EU but could actually be functionally licensing for all of the EU (though if that's how it worked they'd likely catch on and start being even more restrictive, which seems to be the standard reaction for licensors unfortunately).
Like I say though, I don't really know what it actually means and I'm just guessing really. Unfortunately these sort of things do often get twisted along the way even if they started out with good intentions (for example, if companies have to charge the same price to all of the EU you can bet they'll pick the highest one).
