TL;DW - he needs reference screen grabs to make his screen accurate props, but lately in browser DRM has been making it harder and harder to take screenshots (specifically using a Mac on Amazon streaming service). So if he gets frustrated enough, he’ll just torrent a HQ copy and use that instead.

DRM is making it annoying for everyone, and you never own anything if you don’t have an unrestricted local copy.

I absolutely hate this trend. If my eyeballs can see it, the camera on my phone can. Or a cheap HDMI capture card with a leaked HDCP key. They just want to screw over non-techie people who don’t know about these workarounds.

I just learned about HDCP. What if you have display without HDCP support? This just sounds like a stupid idea.

Edit: Apparently laptops and computers should have that too. Is there any way I can test it on demand?

Edit 2: Intel just discontinued HDCP on Linux at start of this year.

That depends on the software in question, but generally it will play a degraded version of the content.

The vast majority of people are non-techies, and that’s quite profitable.

Firefox doesn’t black out the screen on windows like Chrome does.

It depends. Turn of hardware acceleration in firefox or chrome. Works on both. Screen should be screenshot/recordable again.

I’m pretty sure this is why Hue Sync (matches lights to the screen) doesn’t work on desktop and the hardware accessory for it is so expensive.
