Apart from the obvious nautical themed solutions, are there any ways around streaming services not allowing HD video playback on Linux? Prime video is the one I’ve noticed it with the most, I haven’t tried Disney plus yet but I’m expecting it to be similar. I’ve been dual booting for a while now and this is the main thing keeping me on Windows at the moment.

    No as you can not bypass DRM. DRM is designed to block your control of your machine.

      Seriously, DRM is the problem. There’s no one benefitting from it except for large corporations who have a stranglehold on content.

        Yeah. And even the corporations aren’t benefiting. The best Pirates crack that stuff quickly, and the rest of us (not me, obviously, I’m no pirate) just leach off the best Pirates. People trying to give them money are hurt.
