Understanding DRM Limitations
Even with DRM in place, it is important to note that users can still potentially screen-record content. DRM is designed to:

Limit unauthorized copying, distribution, and playback.
However, DRM cannot completely prevent screen recording, as users may utilize external tools. Such actions often violate terms of service or copyright laws.
