I think you don't give American companies enough credit when it comes to appealing to various countries laws and opinions. It is disingenuous to say Europe or the rest of the world does not care about copyright when they have historically and increasingly laws that are as strict if not stricter than the US' when it comes to preventing copyright infringement.

Nipples do reflect American sensibilities although it is understandable that many companies do not want to go down that road as it could lead to becoming distributors of porn. I think you will find that many countries outside of Europe agree or don't think that these rules go far enough.

Those laws are to some extent pushed through by the US in international treaties on behalf of american copyright holders.

They're the obvious tariff required in every "free trade" treaty.

Equating nudity with porn is maybe understandable as a business minded precaution ; It's not less revolting to do so. The fact that many non-european countries would like to deny the freedoms hardly won decades ago is not something that american companies should be happy to share value with either. Cultural relativism will have you banning much more than a nipple if you decide to go that way. Good for business, but not what we should thrive for.
