It's wild to me that these guys still try this hard with DRM given that obvious reality. Like, I get that streaming services aren't just shipping an MP4 file that you can right-click and hit Save As. But the blacking out the video when I take a screenshot on a freaking iPhone... what is being prevented here? Someone is going to make a copy of a movie by taking 3,000,000 screenshots and stitching them all together?

Someone is going to make a copy of a movie by taking 3,000,000 screenshots and stitching them all together? Even if making 3M screenshots to extract the video isn't a viable ripping strategy, it's still less work to block all capture APIs than it is to figure out which methods you want to block, and make sure that implementation is airtight.
