Depends who makes your computer, phone or TV and the licensing etc. The tech is perfectly capable of stopping that. The device detects the Cinavia watermark and simply silences the audio after a few minutes.
I don't know whether streamers use it but it was widely deployed in the era when movie piracy revolved around making pirated Blurays. For instance the PS3 would silence the audio on a burned Bluray that had a theatre or TV cammed title protected by Cinavia on it.
A lot of this is about catching the fat head though. People who play videos using some hacked up VLC on Linux don't bother the studios, they're long tail and don't make a revenue impact. They're after the ordinary people who want to watch pirated stuff on a regular home cinema system.
