This is one of the more boneheaded moves of DRM IMHO.
They are shooting themselves in the foot for no gain I can see and huge amount of downside. People are screenshotting (or even recording a 5sec clip) to _share your content_. These methods clearly have zero effect on piracy so all they do is make legitimate user’s lives more difficult.
It _might_ make sense if every streaming platform had built-in tools to share a clip or a screenshot, but they don’t. It completely baffles me.
I need to dust off my plans for a simple Plex gif-maker tool. A web-based tool I can load and is queued up to wherever I am in the show I’m watching with grabbers on a video timeline to select the start/end of the clip. Then export to mp4/gif, maybe simple subtitle support or text overlays.
