Displaying copyrighted video content, specifically from platforms like Netflix, through screen sharing applications such as Discord often presents technical challenges. These challenges arise primarily due to digital rights management (DRM) technologies implemented to protect copyrighted material. Attempts to share such content frequently result in a black screen or an error message for the viewers.
Circumventing these protections to facilitate viewing protected content through screen sharing can lead to copyright infringement. Content providers invest substantial resources in their programming and licensing agreements, relying on DRM to ensure revenue streams and maintain control over distribution. Understanding the legal and ethical implications of bypassing DRM is essential before attempting to share copyrighted content.
