Apple TV is limited to 720p on Linux.

Pretty much any brand name smart TV supports the "strongest" DRM and has full UHD Netflix et al support, and has done since about 2016/2017.

If you're accessing via a personal computer at all you're already in a fairly small percentage of users. The smart TV and set top box ecosystem work fine, and that's where the users are.

Only in SD. Though in some cases a VM can enforce HDCP.

Scene pirates complain quite a lot that they frequently do not have access to day one Netflix UHD releases and they have to burn hardware keys to do it every few months.

L1 in Chrome is now available if your hardware supports Playready SL3000, but if it is officially supported at this point rather than being a beta that nobody guarantees from build to build seems surprisingly undocumented.

Which, reasonably, significantly reduces your resolution.

Does anyone in your blog comments ever discuss circumvention of DRM? That's a criminal offence in the UK (two year prison sentence in some circumstances). Do you have a good feeling for what might count as incitement in those circumsta

It is.

Ofcom have said that they consider geoblocking to be sufficient in writing, so at least they would probably lose any legal case brought against them.

Yes.

No, you still need to do things like write an impact assessment etc and you're still on the hook for "illegal" comments where you aren't a judge and have to arbitrarily decide what might be when you have no legal experti

You can literally just email any random ePub to a Kindle and it works. (The cover art is finikey sometimes.)

Your understanding is completely wrong. Please stop spreading misinformation if you don't know the answer.

Aaron Schwartz's lawyer could have posed exactly the same claim. It wouldn't have succeeded, just like this won't. Lawyers will deploy any possible argument, just in case, even if it has a 0.1% chance of working because why w

This isn't a decent defence, it's a losing desperate one.

It doesn't use EME (EME isn't designed to protect text so it couldn't), but it's very likely what it does would be considered to be a "technical protection measure" in most courts and reverse engineering it is

Size is absolutely a factor in that most ebooks can be trivially attached to emails under the 10MB size limit, which other forms of media usually can't.

No publisher has done anything other than laugh at Cory for years now.

There's no key system like that that could possibly work. But you already are required to deposit your books (or other copyrighted works) with the British Library upon publication and many other countries do the same thing. https:&#x2

Is there anyone who opposes piracy who does not think that Meta should get the figurative book thrown at them? This is an odd strawman to tilt at.

Not in and of itself, no. It would allow another source to downloading them from the Amazon website (as that is going away) on to a PC where stripping software can (in some cases) be applied. It also might (but might not) be a way for decry

It didn't take them this long. Several studios have done this for years. Paramount literally did it more than a decade ago. https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/...

Why do you think Netflix wants to buy it? There is no point buying everything as a streaming provider. It doesn't get you more customers and it costs money. Heck, Apple will not even let you put up anything on the iTunes store to purch

As has been pointed out here before, this is all TPUs. They are not used by DRM vendors because they are quite bad at stopping people with physical access getting the keys.

It's pretty obviously two middle managers fighting each other, and senior management is too distracted by AI to worry about core products being on fire.

Sticking software you don't like on the malware list feels like a disaster waiting to happen during discovery in an anti-trust suit.

I don't think it's that they've entirely ditched FB, but FB is genuinely terrible at surfacing event invites. It would prefer you to have to scroll through a bunch of irrelevant garbage in your feed that it had "recommen

It still requires people to read a text message. It may as well be delivered via carrier pigeon outside the US.

MacOS does have the functionality built in, it just barely works. It also starts with no errors if it comes across a codec it doesn't like (which is most of them) but then just... doesn't work. Airplay is a big pile of technical d
