TL;DW - he needs reference screen grabs to make his screen accurate props, but lately in browser DRM has been making it harder and harder to take screenshots (specifically using a Mac on Amazon streaming service). So if he gets frustrated enough, he'll just torrent a HQ copy and use that instead.
DRM is making it annoying for everyone, and you never own anything if you don't have an unrestricted local copy.
I'm pretty sure this is why Hue Sync (matches lights to the screen) doesn't work on desktop and the hardware accessory for it is so expensive.
I absolutely hate this trend. If my eyeballs can see it, the camera on my phone can. Or a cheap HDMI capture card with a leaked HDCP key. They just want to screw over non-techie people who don't know about these workarounds.
The vast majority of people are non-techies, and that’s quite profitable.
