Not really. You can just use a $10 splitter from Amazon
Comment on California’s new law forces digital stores to admit you’re just licensing content, not buying it
skibidi@lemmy.world 10 months agoWell, sort of. HDCP exists, and does make it harder to capture an AV stream.
For interactive content, the current push online components hosted on external servers adds a lot of complexity. While a lot of that stuff can be patched around by a very dedicated community, not every piece of content gets enough community appeal to attract the wizards to do such a thing.
And while anyone can digivolve into a wizard given enough commitment and effort, the onramp is not easy these days. Wayyy back when cracking a game meant opening the file and finding the line for 'if cd_key == ‘whru686’, it was much easier to get casually involved. Nowadays, DRM has gotten so much more sophisticated that a tech background is essentially required to start.

I figure the content that’s not popular enough to already be pirated is coming from smaller artists who should probably have my money.
