It is a digital gatekeeper, simultaneously enabling seamless streaming for legitimate users while becoming the most sought-after weapon for pirates. For OEMs, it is a production-line necessity. For security researchers, it is a vulnerability to study. For the average consumer, it is an invisible hand that determines whether their next movie night is in glorious 4K or pixelated standard definition.
