I was trying to watch konosuba on crunchyroll and when i opened it on my brave a pop up showed up that i need to have some drm software and whetewer i allow it. i did clik allow and it didint work either way so i watched it on Firefox and there is a thing saying that this thing is drm protected.

Soooo whats the point of this ? Is it supposed to stop you from pirating the content from their sites . If so how exatcly when you can just literaly record screen ? I honestly struggle to understand the purpose of this. Not sure if thats correct community to ask about it but it seems like you guys might know about this

Someone else already said this, but to be clear, the form of drm keeps the image encrypted through to your monitor, the monitor decrypts it so you can't screen capture it without breaking the drm.

RDPing into another computer and capturing the video feed from the remote computer should work, though

You won't see any video through RDP.

Depending on your OS it should prevent screen recording. Maybe screen recording works depending on the DRM level.

The DRM prevents you from directly downloading the files. Similarly Spotify requires DRM so it's impossible to download songs.

Obviously if it's on your device there're ways to circumvent DRM, either by recording or having the right keys.

Most of the time it's the rightholders who demand copy prevention, even if it doesn't prevent copies but annoys customers if it fails.

Just wanna say that Spotify's DRM sucks. Plenty of scrapers out there.

I think it also shows that DRM is completely useless.
