Which is bullshit because DRM doesn't effectively prevent ripping (source: you can find pirated hd content). So it's literally only harmful to the customer.
I'll give you a quick demo of how DRM is literally useless at protecting content:
Now, this is a terrible way of ripping content, it causes at least one reencoding, which reduces quality (a lot of people won't even notice it), but it is a stupidly simple working demo of DRM circumvention.
Btw, that procedure is not the result of some study, reverse engineering, or any clever stuff. I was literally playing a game in streaming and I went "hmm, I wonder what would happen if I streamed widevine" and it just worked.
A much more simpler method is to just use Streamfab. No need for nVidia, a second PC etc.
What do you know, I have that kind of setup. I kinda want to try that now. I ain't gonna subscribe to Netflix just to test this for myself tho.
