Yes, sadly, DRM is necessary to use many streaming services, be it Spotify, Crunchyroll, or Netflix.

At least Widevine works on Linux. Without Widevine copyright holders would probably demand some Windows-/macOS-only DRM that'd be probably even worse.

Edit: Just remembering Flash gives me shudders.

Widevine doesnt seem to work very well if i'm watching 4 pixels instead of 4k, lol.

Well, my point was more about Spotify and other sites which only require basic DRM.

But yeah, I also consider the quality inacceptable. It's why I bought storage for my server to start sailing the high seas with automatic downloads.

I swear to god I'm about to start doing it to.

Im a fucking customer, that is paying, or has paid, and still wont let me watch the shit.. So whats the point of giving my money?

had a lot of people offer to give me charts to the new seas, as mine are 20 years old at this point, and i am so dangerously close to finally accepting an offer.
