> This “feature” accomplishes nothing of value for anyone, including the streaming services, but imposes a massive (and for most people, confusing and frustrating) hindrance on honest people simply trying to easily capture high-quality (as opposed to, say, using their damn phone to take a photograph of their reflective laptop display) screenshots of the shows and movies they’re watching. Yeah what's the point? If anything it's yet another reason to just download pirated content. You can screenshot that just fine. You can save it where you want without expiring, play it on every device you want, you're not bothered by trailers or ads or have to use a specific player app or a device with a particular wildvine level or whatever. It doesn't constantly monitor what you watch and when. It's just so much better, and many of these restrictions are only for the benefit of the publisher. Doing that makes sense if users have nowhere else to go but now they're shooting themselves in the foot. Especially with the latest 'pay more or watch ads' fad with the streaming services, do they really expect piracy not to massively increase?
