If what they're doing isn't theft, then digital "piracy" isn't theft either.

if you can take it from me, I can take it from you. piracy has become a moral imperative to stop valuable art being flushed down the memory hole.

How the tables have turned.

Sony won the case against Universal that allowed people to record TV shows with their VCR. I wonder how they'd feel if I pointed OBS at their streams.

Does OBS even work with all the DRM they've put on things? I thought that's the whole point why it's there, to keep people from screen capturing or restreaming videos

It may not work directly, but there's always a way to misdirect it, like a vm!

Sony should be fined for each unit they delete.
