*Or image, not really sure if that works.
- mcintyre1994 8y agoCan you actually DRM a video so that the OS won't let it be screenshotted? I usually use the snipping tool for Windows screenshots, does DRM stop that working somehow?
- swiley 8y agoI don’t think it will on Linux, I could have sworn I’ve watched Netflix with just the EFI framebuffer. If that worked then there’s no way any sort of DRM that can be viewed on Linux would stop this.
- mimsee 8y agoTry Netflix with Microsoft Edge and try to take a screenshot. Only subtitles will be visible.

- earenndil 8y agoEven if you can, it's possible to circumvent that (see: analogue loophole).
