Because it has to or there's no verifiable audit trail that any verification was ever performed. Any service that claims otherwise is lying or will get sued to oblivion very quickly.

Literally no part of that was viable - Netflix didn't even buy 5% of US produced current TV content, less than 10% of film, maybe 1% if we generously round up of archive content, and most of what they bought was already paid for by Net

It really hasn't. Try seeing how many Beatles songs you can include in another work that you distribute internationally and let me know how that goes.

Netflix 4k titles certainly don't. It's often weeks at this point for web-dls.

They do. Netflix has never streamed 4K content in h264 for example.

They are, but only in that you would be surprised at how tiny the PC usage is to most online video streamers, it's even smaller than anyone would expect.

Funny how Spotify keeps getting hit with GDPR fines if that's the case.

Good. The way to fix it is still to break Apple up, but we might have to do the merry go round a few more times until regulators realise that.

No. It's literally impossible. You can either have a zero knowledge system where the tokens are immediately compromised and widely shared that provides no authentication whatsoever, or you can have a system that has the ability to revo

That isn't correct. Edge has always supported the same resolutions and HDR as the app, and Chrome now does as well if you have the correct combination of hardware. MacOS has literally never had an app due to it's market share, or

Then you won't have signed drivers so it will fail.

Unless you want the DRM to limit the delivered resolution to a pretty low point then Windows cannot see into the encrypted video memory, nor can anything in userland.

So we have a proposal that is - a) easily broken given it has no effective revocation process. b) has no explanation of how it could possibly work on non-proprietary hardware and operating systems. c) opens with praise from Jonathan Haidt,

You can't block one being taken but you can make it so the content isn't captured by the screenshot, and make the screenshot detectable, both of which are kernel level services provided by the OS or indeed even the hardware.

Correct.

The answer to this is going to be everyone losing more privacy through draconian age verification requirements for all major platforms, not positive news.

Under the UK Online Safety Act pretty much every website going forward is required to figure out the age of every user - https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/uk-gdpr-guidance-and-re... This is almost certainly a starti

Under the DMA's requirements to protect children I think it will be basically mandatory to do this. In the UK it already is under the Online Safety Bill.

L1/L2 requires a third party who could be liable to sign that the drivers are unmodified to the hardware. On a general purpose Linux installation who would do that? (And who in the Linux using community wouldn't take any efforts b

Effective means "has an effect". i.e. you cannot put a piece of paper in the box with the words "this is a technical protection mechanism" and claim it is. But it doesn't mean that what you do has to be infailable,

It seems to suggest they're limited to Qualcomm chipsets, and Qualcomm don't make a higher end VR chipset so it's hard to see where a high end headset would come from.
