Get It Right, get a DRM version that can only be played on a few devices for a year before it expires.
Get It Right, with bundled menus, adverts, copyright notices, and other forced content.
Get It Right, with poorly written launchers, DRM apps and other vulnerability promoting materials.
Get It Right, with clunky boxes that you have to store somewhere.
Get It Right, with on-demand that expires a week after broadcast - or 1 day before you got round to catching up.
Get It Right, with adverts that are compressed to buggery and wake the household up with a bad cut.
Get It Right, with advert messages overlaying your TV episode.

Get It Right, move to a different country because the content you want is physically not available in your country.

Re: Suspected pirates to get emails from ISPs later this month
As usual... rather than fix the problems they go after the only option available that people have been forced to go to in a lot of cases....

I have seen that with content posted by one arm of the BBC in the UK on YT.

So true - As someone who makes a big effort not to pirate its damn frustrating. I have friends who do pirate - straight to TV 4K streaming using Kodi and I'm stuck with low quality painful services (Chromecast does not support Amazon Prime, Fire Stick does not support Google Play Movies - Ahhhh!!!!). So far the only DRM I've felt work is Steam but only because its unobtrusive, cheap and it just works but then you find some Ubisoft title that needs uplay!!!!!!!!!

If the government had any good sense at all it'd tell content creators to dry their crocodile tears and innovate and give consumers what they want.

Re: Suspected pirates to get emails from ISPs later this month
As above, but I doubt hardcore pirates would be scared away by an "email of alternate recommendations" - it is just going to highlight to them that they need better security.

Amen brother!
Adverts, on a paid-for service, are only going to drive people to use Pirated versions, for free.

Forgot that one (I wonder why that hasn't impacted me that much :rolleyes:), but yeah, very important. And I guess related, Get It Right, wait a week after your American friends have already seen the episode and told you who dies.

Exactly. I once had to import a Wallace & Gromit DVD from the USA because the BBC release wasn't until THREE years later! :rant:
I might do similar this year, as "The Expanse" is NOT available on Bluray OR DVD in the UK! :mad:

But it will scare away (or actually punish) all the little people who just download a few things here and there, which then removes the vast majority of those who support the pirate's activities in the first place...

Maybe if they spent that time and effort making a decent film instead, people would be more inclined to pay the insanely high prices for a cinema ticket?

OK so I don't really have any experience with DRM, so why is it generally hated? Is it mainly the fact that you're severely limited in where you can use the program/game?

Re: Suspected pirates to get emails from ISPs later this month
Maybe not the right way to go about it. Bit of a scatter gun approach. But I'm all for them trying to target some of the more obvious high volume pirates out there and throw the book at them. Hang them all, that's what I say.

Best statement ever on the subject ! I'd love to see the MSM quote this alongside whatever piece they are doing on the topic.

4k on Kodi? It's 95% 720p (everything rated HD) and 1080p if you're lucky, isn't it?

Re: Suspected pirates to get emails from ISPs later this month
From what I understand it only targets the people using file sharing sites anyway, doesn't include people direct downloading etc which is the way a lot of people are getting their downloads now

people are to thick to watch the DVD version for £1.99 then buy the physical bluray

It's a large and complex subject.
But in a nutshell: for the vast majority of the time DRM negatively impacts paying customers only whilst pirates ignore it and so get a superior product. The near polar opposite of what it should be doing.

of course, 4k streaming requires too much bandwidth for pirated content providers to supply

H.265 changes that. You'll see more 4K streams/torrents as more client devices start supporting the codec.

Interesting to see if my encrypted VPN link to the backup system that has near constant traffic causes them to send me a letter.
Ill certainly be writing them back if it does.

Interesting viewpoint to take. Most of my TV comes over terrestrial (Freeview), but I also have subscriptions for Netflix and Amazon which the kids watch pretty much constantly.
We went away for a weekend and didn't have any Internet access, so I picked up a copy of Minions on DVD. I was forced to endure unskippable studio gumpf, unskippable ads for movies and then a copyright notice, despite the fact that is was a legitimate copy of the movie.
This is just a PITA, and when you have an autistic 3 year old having a meltdown because he wants to watch the movie THAT YOU HAVE PAID FOR and you have minutes of unskippable and unwanted content, it's not really surprising people look for other avenues to get content.

Kind of nice of them really.
"hey, we can see you are downloading x. Please update your encryption methods to make sure we cant see you downloading x in the future".

Guys, just a quick reminder that while HEXUS has no objection about copyright protection discussions, it has zero tolerance for piracy and therefore discussions about methods of circumventing copyright protection.

Clearly aimed at me due to my post being deleted but I didn't mention anything about copy protection, it was about protecting yourself from spying (packet inspection) and perusal of your DNS history.
Really, Hexus is getting way to jumpy for some topics to be properly discussed - even legally. Guess it just means more time on Reddit instead.
