Yes, and to suppress casual sharing. + to control supply of playback devices for price leverage. See https://twitter.com/BrendanEich/status/883730873014603776 … -- no mystery!

Casual sharing can be suppressed with streaming and very basic mitigations.

Basis for hope in watermarking. And yet, anything above SD was (s/w obfuscated) DRMed. Hollywood contracts require it, inertia + known qty.

In my concrete case, why does HBO benefit from allowing Xfinity to block my access on TiVo?
-
TiVo isn't fully content-creator supply-controlled playback device, ofc. I loved my HD Tivo back in 2000. Cut cord long ago. TV kills brain.

Because of the allure of a "secure" product that can be relicensed and resold to different chains. Content creators want to maximize sales.
-
There's principal/agent conflict along the chains, though -- Yehuda DRM-fail shows this, it does creators no favors.
