Okay... but since it's copyrighted material, I kind of understand why they don't want you to record it...
I'm not saying it's great, but I see the reasoning. What would you recommend is the ideal way for this to work?
It shouldn't work, you don't have to wear hand cuffs to read a book.
Make your own library with jellyfin. You can get disks and rip them. If you want live TV get a TV or a hdhomerun
Sure, I agree... But I'm saying that DRM as a concept is understandable... on a primitive basis at least... like, subscription based streaming is a good idea since nobody can have everything all the time... but the issue is that these DRM features are apparently too restrictive (right?)... so, my question essentially was "what exactly are the issues that DRM poses and what is the ideal way DRM should work?"
DRM shouldn't work, that's the problem. People should be in charge of there devices and those devices shouldn't try to undermine that control. When you use DRM, you are under control by the company or companies controlling your computer.
The alternative way is to just sell the videos. This is the case for DVDs. You also need to shift the liability from companies to individuals. If a individual illegally publishes a movie on the internet they should be fined.
There's gotta be a better way to do this... 🤷🏻♂️
