re: Unpolular opinion, DRM
@avalos@mstdn.social mega etc. but the point is cound just be someone uploading stuff to your whatsapp group or whereever. the point is that even less experienced people often know someone to get stuff from.
the real thing killing piracy is the pricing, the streaming services are cheap enough and the collective mindset is that "you are supposed to have it because what else would you do? (are you poor or what?)". at least that's how i observe it.
drm isn't doing jack shit, you can get a hdmi splitter and get going. i think there are some which dump stuff directly to sd cards. the only problem are 4k things, but even those are pirated nearly instantly.

i got stuff burned as video cd back in the days and was happy with that, so were my peers. the competitive pricing is what "kills" privacy, not making ripping stuff hard. breaking drm is just seen as sport :) look at denouvo or how it's called for games. took a year or two to work out the details, but now new games are cracked in days. imho, the only thing which drm is good at is being broken and not playing back at real customers.
