#drmsucks — Public Fediverse posts

@brainblasted oh, did i ever mention #adobe seems to have deleted all my books during the Adobe ID to Bytebooks move? it just pretended my old account was gone.

I got them back by going to every book shop and listing every single book I ever bought to the shop, and having them reset the licenses.

What would I have done if a bookshop had gone out of business since then?

...probably would have just lost them. DRM sucks.

Mám dobrou a špatnou zprávu:

Ta dobrá je, že mi opět funguje #skyshowtime na notebooku s #linux za pomocí GoogleTV hacku přes #waydroid

Ta špatná je, že vlastně ani nevím, jak jsem toho docílil a taky že jsem s tím strávil pršavé dušičkové odpoledne
#drmsucks

V marné naději vyřešit dementní požadavky na extra DRM od Sky Showtime jsem zkusil knihovnu fakeDRM

Buď jsem až moc lamka a nebo to nic nedělá...

Tak holt Tulsa King fakt budu nucen dosledovat na mobilu...

A co hůř. #skyshowtime přestal fungovat pomocí hacku přes #waydroid

Tudíž asi jediná cesta jak dokoukat seriál, je na mobilu

(apologies for the delay, found out screenshot tool I use for Chrome to bypass encryption, has been disabled by Amazon for Prime Video, so now I have to submit a very long bug report to get that fixed, I don't think dev knows that Amazon has blocked the tool)

(DRM Sucks)

#DRMSucks

Blocking it via DRM is a barrier.

As Steve Jobs said, DRM is a bag of hurt.

#DRMSucks #Encrypted

I know this may all sound first world problems DRM like widevine ruins the streaming and sharing experience. Sports and media is meant to be shared, especially live via screen captures.

#DRMSucks #Encrypted

There is a screen cap tool that can bypass encryption without turning off hardware acceleration on Chrome. But with encryption turned on, the screen cap tool acts a bit sluggish and can’t capture every frame.

#DRMSucks #Encrypted

Unfortunately this meant worst fears confirmed, and came true in last few days: encryption DRM has been turned on for ESPN+ stream, meaning screen cap is no longer possible on iOS or iPadOS or on Safari on Mac.

#DRMSucks #Encrypted

Well, still on summer break right now from live sports posting, but noticed something since during NBA Finals: while back ESPN started using same player type on web for ESPN+.

#DRMSucks #Encrypted

Oh yay it's ditch kindle day.

Actually I am pretty pissed off as a consumer about this because I bought a scribe instead of a Remarkable because it was cheaper AND I COULD COPY MY PDFs AND PAPERS EASILY.

... (2/2)

Relative: Amazon Prime
Me: (Oh shazbat.) Umm, forget it. You'd have to pirate it, first.
Relative: I ended up just turning on closed captioning.
Me: Yeah, that's about the only option in that case.

#DRM #DRMsucks #DefectiveByDesign

Part of this involves testing all my games in offline mode, because DRM. I don't want to be on the 14-hour flight and find that a game gets pissy because Denuvo can't connect.

#DRMsucks

Well, I’m afraid #TNF screenshot will be bit delayed

Amazon finally decided to start encrypting the live sports feed as well. So screenshot on iOS and iPadOS is impossible.

So need to set up my Mac quick.

#DRMSucks

Well, one thing for sure tonight: I'm glad MAX FINALLY ADDED Sports from Warner Brothers Discovery Sports.

It has rewind feature so itc comes in handy.

(unfortunately feed is encrypted so no way to screenshot on iOS and iPadOS. it can be screenshot on Mac via Chrome)

#Max #BRSports #DRMSucks

Well, Bad News……

Latest YouTube app update adds encryption to NFL Sunday Ticket Feed, meaning if you are on iOS and iPadOS, screenshot is now impossible.

To screenshot, you have to use Chrome on Mac with hardware acceleration disabled to block OS’s DRM encryption feature.

#DRMSucks

Well, Google has done one thing right about Sunday Ticket already on YouTube app on mobile: YOU CAN SCREENSHOT THE GAME, THE FEED IS NOT ENCRYPTED!!!!!!! (Except when connected to external display, then it turns on encryption)

(On YouTube TV App, entire app is encrypted so you can’t screenshot at all unless you have a Mac or PC)

#Screenshot #DRMSucks #NFL #SundayTicket

So it seems that "if you work at #Google, you are part of the problem" is pretty valid. As is "if you use a Google product, you are part of the problem".

Yes, i know how big Google is, and yes, your job may be "far away" from the idiots that are working on killing the web.
Sorry, no excuse, you are indirectly helping them and Google.

Yes, it is more work to not just use Google tech.
Sorry, no excuse, it is possible to go #without Google products.

#drm #drmsucks #bigtech #nextcloud #selfhost #googlemustdie #freeweb

So unfortunately looks like NBC Sports App ALSO started putting encryption into their video feeds, meaning if you are trying to share screenshot from the app, it’ll be blacked out.
