> Apple TV+ is so locked down with DRM that you can't even easily take a screenshot from a show and share it on social media.

This seems incredibly blind. Do they realize how much culture spreads via gifs these days? If anything exporting clips and screenshots should come built-in.

The rights holders probably wouldn’t like that.
It's probably the lawyers that have a say in this.
To the best of my understanding, Apple TV+ is entirely Apple original content. Considering their hard-line stance re: the original iPhone and carrier demands, wouldn't they be able to make the same requirements here?
