I for one thank our piracy overlords who endlessly work to make every form of content (optionally) freely available in high quality.

Amazon and Apple lure you in but many shows it seems need to be rented or bought. How much disposable income do these companies think the average Joe has to spend? the answer seems to be $10 to $20 to rent or "buy" movies. Which you never own a physical copy of. They seem to be out of touch with reality.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

If you try and screenshot or use something like OBS on Windows you just get a black box on top of the media content. Is that not the case using that solution?

There is no protected media path on Linux. It always works there.

Which is why you get the 480p/720p low bitrate version instead of the 4K one on Netflix/Disney+.

I stupidly “rented” a copy of Apollo 13 for $3.99 and being a long movie fell asleep halfway through. I came back to watch it a few days later and found the rental had “expired” in 2-3 days and was required to pay again to continue watching.

Sometimes I think these people live in an alternate universe. last time I did that.
