I want to know the answer to the following question:
What is restricted unless the film has a traditional theater release?
All the background I'm provided with is that "In response to Cusumano's perspective, Screen Producers Australia executive director Matt Deaner clarified the motivation of the film industry: "Distributors are usually wanting to encourage cinema-going as part of this process [monetizing through returns] and restrict the immediate access to online so as to encourage the maximum number of people to go to the cinema."". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
