    Sure, but then you just need a youtube front running cache that preloads videos, or load multiple videos at the same time… i know i’m not the only person who watches youtube at 3x speed, so you could speed up past the ad, etc.

      They could use stream encryption (DRM) to ensure you’re viewing the ads as expected and make it hard to capture and playback.

        Its a arms race, you could always just record the screen with a camera and edit it out as the ultimate.

        you could spin up a vm, and capture the video output

        you could use a graphics driver that lets you inspect the frame buffer, etc

        you could use the side channel attacks to get the decrypted video frames, heartbleed etc, etc etc

          Do these actually work against HDCP? (Outside using a camera, obviously). I know it used to work decently well against most “ordinary” attacks like VMs and capture cards.

            I believe HDCP keys have already been leaked, I can find a couple different references to them on GitHub even.
