I have problem understanding what problem is this solving?
When the image is on my screen I can just screenshot it.
This is a common problem, using something in insecure environment, thats why companies are going into such extents to encrypt movies on whole train from source to the display and even those are regularly dumped.
- dkersten 5y agoAnd even if they figured out some DRM method to prevent screenshotting/screen recording, I can still point my phone camera at my monitor and capture it that way, if I really want to. There is always a way around whatever they try to do. If I can see it, I can make a copy of it.
- cesarb 5y ago> I can still point my phone camera at my monitor and capture it that way Back in the late 1990s/early 2000s (this was so long ago that I cannot quickly find a reference), there were proposals to require all non-professional audio and video recorders to detect a watermark and disable recording when one was found. Needless to say this was a terrible idea, for several reasons.

- dkersten 5y agoYes. DRM always hurts the legitimate users more than the "pirates". Same with disabling right click or otherwise trying to prevent downloading images.
- gipp 5y agoIt's not "solving" anything, just demonstrating an interesting gimmick
- spiderice 5y agoDefinitely a gimmick. Interesting might be a bit of a stretch
- rad_gruchalski 5y agoWhat’s the gimmick because I just save that image to photos on iOS?
