Soooo whats the point of this ? Is it supposed to stop you from pirating the content from their sites . If so how exatcly when you can just literaly record screen ?
I honestly struggle to understand the purpose of this.
Not sure if thats correct community to ask about it but it seems like you guys might know about this
I know there’re tools to record songs on Spotify that automatically splits and tags them. It just isn’t as good as downloading directly from Deezer etc.
Yeah, DRM annoys paying customers but doesn’t stop copies to appear online.

Depending on your OS it should prevent screen recording. Maybe screen recording works depending on the DRM level.
The DRM prevents you from directly downloading the files. Similarly Spotify requires DRM so it’s impossible to download songs.
Obviously if it’s on your device there’re ways to circumvent DRM, either by recording or having the right keys.
Most of the time it’s the rightholders who demand copy prevention, even if it doesn’t prevent copies but annoys customers if it fails.
Just wanna say that Spotify’s DRM sucks. Plenty of scrapers out there.
I think it also shows that DRM is completely useless.
