Sure. Try dumping SkyShowTime shows/movies then. (refuses to run on GNU/Linux).

The average power user won't be able to run SkyShowTime on Linux. The idea is locking everyone on Windows, OS X or Linux with Secure Boot and verifiable boot chain if you want to watch movies or TV shows.

The irony is customers have a more reliable service with pirated shows nowadays, they always play and the quality doesn't change.

Crackers will just use kvm for virtualisation and dump whatever they want either directly or over SPICE.

Probably. Though I'm still wondering why hasn't Microsoft implemented some kind of roles along Verified Boot.

No-one, in Hollywood's view, should be able to watch protected content on a VM. Plus for me it's choppy. Waiting for better virtio graphics drivers for Windows (bugs exist in Visual Studio with HW accel on and there is no 3D support).

Capturing content like that is something you'd do with GPU passthrough, not virtio drivers.

But Windows knows it's being virtualized. Why doesn't it disable Hi-def output when doing so?
