Disney, Sony, Universal, Paramount, and Warner Bros. control whether you can take screenshots on Netflix. The five studios created a joint lab in 2006 to draft the security rules that every streaming platform must follow. Netflix pays $20 billion a year for content licenses, and those contracts come with mandatory encryption requirements. The studios decide, and Netflix obeys. One of those requirements: all videos have to be encrypted, so you can't copy them. A piece of software called Widevine, owned by Google, is baked into your phone, your browser, and your smart TV. It routes the video through a protected part of your device so that when you hit the screenshot button, all you get is a black rectangle. The video literally never passes through the part of the device that handles screenshots. And the whole thing barely works anyway. Anyone with a laptop can turn off a single Chrome setting, and screenshots work again. Organized piracy rings don't bother with screenshots at all. They rip entire movies. Piracy sites got 216 billion visits in 2024, up 66% from four years earlier. The encryption stops your aunt from sharing a funny scene on Twitter. It does almost nothing to stop actual pirates. Paradoxically, Netflix's most successful show of all time went viral almost entirely through screenshots and memes. Squid Game cost $21 million to make. Netflix says it generated roughly $891 million in value for the company, measured by how many people it brought to the platform and kept watching. The TikTok hashtag alone hit 44 billion views. Netflix added 4.4 million new subscribers in the quarter it dropped, double the previous quarter's total. Nobody ran a marketing campaign for it. Fans did all the work for free, because they could share what they saw. Netflix made $42.5 billion in revenue last year with 325 million subscribers. A $21 million Korean show returned 42 times its production cost because people posted screenshots and memes. The contracts that block your screenshots were written when piracy meant burning DVDs, not tweeting a frame from Wednesday.

NETFLIX BLOCKING YOU FROM TAKING A SCREENSHOT IS SO…….. DO YOU WANNA YOUR SHOW TO BE VIRAL OR NOT LIKE….. IT’S FREE MARKETING AND YET?

5 minutes before Trump’s announcement: * $1.5B notional worth of S&P500 (ES) futures are bought in a single clip. * $192M notional of oil futures (CL) sold. More than 4x-6x any other trade size during the market close. Insiders profited from his lies in broad daylight!

@RepEliCrane @DHSgov Republicans are in charge of every government branch. The President could've signed an emergency executive order to pay federal workers. But he doesn't give a fuck about anything that doesn't make him money.

🚨 Let me explain what Jeff Bezos is actually doing here.. > He already automated the warehouse workers with 750,000+ robots.. replaced checkout cashiers with cameras.. tested drone delivery.. built robots that move faster than humans.. > Now he's raising $100 billion to BUY entire manufacturing companies.. not to run them.. to automate them.. he's not investing in factories.. he's buying them to empty them.. > This is a man who built Amazon by undercutting every small business in America.. who crushed bookstores, malls, and retail chains.. who made same-day delivery possible by burning through workers so fast they literally ran out of people to hire in some cities.. > And now he's coming for the last thing left.. the factory floor.. the one place people said "AI can't do this.. you need human hands".. $100 billion.. not to create jobs.. to buy the companies that have them and remove the people inside.. your factory job survived the recession.. survived outsourcing.. survived COVID.. it won't survive a billionaire with a shopping list and a robot..
