Would it be possible to VPN to an EU address and download? Or travel to the EU and download this software?
The short answer is “no”. According to Apple’s blog post on the DMA, you’d have to be living in the EU for all of this to work and if you travel outside the EU, everything would continue working for a while and then stop. They didn’t specify after how long things would break, though.
They try really hard to not comply for anyone else.
Which means it's working really well and exactly as EU wanted to.
If so, I’d imagine things are going to get hard for VPNs not too long after.
