I've never gotten why DRM exists on the age of the internet, it's ridiculously easy to jump, it just needs a single dedicated user out of the millions needed to maintain the current costs of making movies and... It's free for everyone on the internet... And the attack vector is rather easy to do, just find a way to record your screen with quality.

The real gold standard is grabbing the encoded version with just drm removed, that's the *rip releases.

OBS Studio will also win, for much less hassle.

OBS as it's distributed respects HDCP

On a browser window, or only when using a capture card? The post implies that it's a browser window, and I have never had any issues with that.

It won't record HDCP content on Windows. I'm not much of a windows user, and I wouldn't be surprised if there are hacked versions but seemed to respect HDCP when I tested it.

Hmm. Given how little I use Windows, I can't be 100% certain, but I would be VERY surprised if you can't use desktop capture to record the screen. If not with the default build, then certainly with a modified one, and since it's open source software, that is something that's not just possible but highly encouraged and supported.

Why we getting extra hardware when printscreen exists?

Nah, fuck it; take a picture of the screen on your phone... like users like to attach to tickets.

For bonus points recreate it after with chatgpt.
