      More than just that was required for 4k netflix, when it worked. Last I heard they came up with additional DRM bullshit. I would expect Amazon to at least attempt the same thing

        Netflix 4K drm is apparently pretty solid, so almost nothing is available at that quality. I think I read that they have a watermarking system that allows them to identify who ripped it and ban the account.

          That’s actually pretty clever. I wonder if the good old uncertified HDMI splitter method still works

            I think that’s how the 4k rips that exist are captured, but that the watermarking is embedded in the video or audio, without any known way of removing it.

      Drms need to be installed and enabled on the browser. Drms like widevine and others.

      If the drms aren’t enabled and installed on the browser, and able to communicate to the service it’s “safe”, spoofing the user agent won’t do anything.
