Even the most complicated video drm can be defeated fairly easily by recording analog output. No one does this, there are groups with fancy protected secrets to rip stuff from Netflix, Hulu, deezer, Spotify, Apple Music, etc, which is why it comes out basically immediately. And that’s probably why the rights holders don’t go to denuvo levels of drm, ultimately with video/audio as long as you can view the media you can pirate it
