afaik you can't screen record DRM content, it's encrypted all the way to the TV or monitor. The OS never sees a decrypted stream. This is why if you try to screenshot Netflix the window just appears as a black frame.

Yeah, but you can but a $10 HDMI splitter from china with a HDCP key on it and hook a video capture to the other end.

I'm sure in the future they'll have a firmware update system for rotating their keys if they've been leaked. And if you try to keep your TV offline to prevent the key rotation, they'll still rotate the encryption key for the stream (maybe wait a year for most people to receive the firmware update), and your offline TV won't be able to decode the stream anymore

They've been leaked for 15 years now.

Yes but I'm saying the tech could get more advanced and locked down, like all DRM tech has been progressing

shrugs If I can see it, I can capture it. The panel drivers turns it back into pixels before it gets to my eyes. There are many levels of difficulty, but nothing they're about to do can stop me with technology.
