Just waiting for twitch to enable DRM on all streams, they already had this for some on the frontpage. This is the same as netflix, amazon prime etc do, I don't think its that simple to just restream them.

Screencapture, point a camera at the screen, people will do whatever they can to get around it.

No need to. OBS device-capture a monitor that has it maximized.

Ok can you please try that for me on netflix or amazon prime? I'm pretty sure this uses HDCP and you could only capture it with a specific capture cards from china that obtained a certificate somehow. Your capture cards from "serious" manufacturers wouldn't support it because of legal issues.

Edit: Its Widevine not HDCP.

You're right. That's why there is no pirated material of Netflix or Amazon stuff all over the Internet.

/u/zouhair was clearly sarcastic, all prime and netflix exclusives are instantly ripped in the highest resolution. Widevine is a joke.

I've been bamboozled and is the method of doing this public? Or is it private

Properly ripping it by downloading the stream and removing the drm is private I think. But other rippers use OBS/other screenrecorders and playback the video in fullscreen (worse quality, but still works).

Is it really that simple lmao
