    They haven’t blocked the windows feature, they’re using DRM to interfere with it. Microsoft could easily change how the DRM works any time they want, rendering all these hacks useless.

      Exactly, how do you even fight with the OS except just making it bit hard for them lol. You have to tell the OS what pixels to put in the screen, there’s literally no way you can hide things from the OS if they want to know.

        My point was that brave’s solution, like Signal’s, is dependent on microsoft playing fair. If microsoft decides they don’t want brave, signal, or anyone else using DRM to interfere with their screen scraping chatbot, there is not going to be an easy way to fix it.

          No way they’d do that though, because then they’d have the mouse and the other members of the content mafia breathing down their necks.

            It’s an image every few seconds. Not that piracy is currently even interested in tech that reencodes the content.
            And for training, copyrighted stuff is already everywhere; AI tools seem to be limited on the output side rather than raw training data.

              Sure it wouldnt be rational to care about DRM being broken a small amount allowing limited amount of copyright material to be copied.

              What do you think their response would be?
