> As far as I now, the answer is yes to Windows (not Linux), and you can legally watch US stuff in Europe as long as your iTunes account is associated with a US account as far as I know (98% certain I did exactly this a couple of years ago).

Sorry, but according to content right owners (Sony being named among the chief ones), that's not legal or acceptable. If they say you're not allowed to watch a movie in EU, it's copyright infrigement for you to pay for it in EU via US iTunes account.

Welcome to 21st century.

Then I guess Apple doesn't enforce that legal restriction ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That seems unlikely to me, though. More likely there is more subtlety to it than that.
