why are some movies/ shows not released in UHD?
There are a lot of videos that I’d like to watch in UHD and/or HDR but there is no streaming service that provides them. Why is that? Why do they not release them in UHD? The cameras they are shooting it with are more than cappable of providing UHD.

Downloading Youtube videos with DRM
Doing some research on things that I will absolutely never do. Let’s say a nefarious party wanted to download a video from Youtube, say, an episode of the TV show Community.
