Nothing stopping you from recording your screen a la a 1980s VCR

  Actually, HDMI has DRM built in, and many DRM-laden apps won't work unless the HDMI DRM is working. The Amazon app has been telling me recently that my connection to my TV doesn't have it, but it actually does. Then I'll hit "play" again and it'll work. (I think it was a bug in their app, because it stopped again.) So recording it requires something that implements that HDMI DRM scheme, but still allows you to record.

    The "analog hole" is still there. Point a camera at your TV and record it that way. Yes, the quality may be bad...

      But that is not the same as a 1980s VCR, which is what the parent said.
      • icedchai 6y ago
        Yes, I understand. The parent is still correct. You can buy splitters that strip HDCP.

          Or you could screen capture.
