      More than just that was required for 4k netflix, when it worked. Last I heard they came up with additional DRM bullshit. I would expect Amazon to at least attempt the same thing

        Netflix 4K drm is apparently pretty solid, so almost nothing is available at that quality. I think I read that they have a watermarking system that allows them to identify who ripped it and ban the account.

          That’s actually pretty clever. I wonder if the good old uncertified HDMI splitter method still works

            I think that’s how the 4k rips that exist are captured, but that the watermarking is embedded in the video or audio, without any known way of removing it.
