No idea, its not as if DRM works. At the end of the day the movie has to be shown on a screen and pirates can just capture that easy peasy.

- bduerst 8y agoApplications and browsers have taken steps to prevent this. For example, you typically can't screen-capture a Netflix movie on Win10 unless it's running on a windowed virtual machine.
- Cyphase 8y agoWell there you go; easy peasy. But actually, I just checked how long it took season 2 of The Punisher to appear on a particular torrent site; it was all up in 720p and 1080p in less than 10 minutes. There are better re-releases later[1], but that seems to imply that the pirates are just downloading it straight, no screengrab hacks needed. [1] E.g. Marvels.The.Punisher.S02.1080p.NF.WEBRip.x265.10bit.HDR.DDP5.1.Atmos-DEFLATE[rartv] (30GB) (1 hour 38 minutes after release time)
- voltagex_ 8y agoWEBRip should mean that it's being screencapped somewhere. WEBDL means it's a direct download. But with that time to release, I have no idea how they're getting and uploading the content that quickly.
