The feasibility of transmitting content from a prominent streaming service, specifically Netflix, to other viewers via screen sharing technology is a commonly explored subject. Attempting to use applications designed to mirror or broadcast a device’s display while playing video from this platform often encounters restrictions.
The implementation of Digital Rights Management (DRM) protocols is the primary reason behind these restrictions. DRM technologies aim to protect copyrighted material from unauthorized distribution and copying. These measures have become increasingly prevalent in the digital entertainment industry to safeguard the interests of content creators and distributors, thereby ensuring the long-term viability of the content ecosystem. The historical context shows a progression from minimal protection to complex DRM as content piracy evolved.
