Good point ... and screen capture is particularly problemactic for jpegs ... I really don't know what can be done about that ...

And there are screen capture programs for video such as Camtasia ...

Although I notice that the pirates frequently talk about using that method only as a last resort when they can't crack the files any other way ...

I assume that's because the quality isn't so great and/or the capture programs are difficult ... at least with video ...

Of course ... that could always change over time but for now, at least, ... based upon the pirate posts I've read ... it's not yet a major concern ...

At least in this scenario they would still have to pay for the video in order to capture it under DRM ...
