That's... been true for decades. The US has this peculiar level of international power where changes in its laws end up directly affecting the rest of the world.
They even pressure some countries like Spain to change their laws to follow MPA and RIAA desires. I recall around 2010-2011 in Spain politicians made law called "Sinde", surname of the person behind it, at the time it was published in some newspapers that it came to fruition after a meeting/conversations with some USA government members, in some media they even called it "Sinde Biden", yep that one .
