It is interesting to see the experiment results with 7%-8% improvements in media rebuffers with just moving from 1-RTT to 0-RTT. Wonder if they ever considered having only one layer of encryption instead of two (TLS and DRM). Would that save more CPU and hence avoid media rebuffers lot more?
- anchpop 7y agoDRM is required by the people they licence video from. I imagine that they wouldn't do it if they didn't have to. (They might still do it to their own content but I don't see what they gain by doing it for someone else's)
- Rebelgecko 7y agoIIRC, Amazon Prime actually uses less obnoxious DRM on their own content than for 3rd party stuff. At least, when I had a computer configuration that they said was unsupported for HD due to DRM reasons, I was still able to get Amazon's own videos in 1080p
- fosefx 7y agoBy now I have only heared about (and experienced) the downsites of DRM. Are there any good arguments for it / casestudies that show any reduction in piracy?
