It also degrades the quality of the image for human consumers. It’s just a matter of what someone is willing to publish to “the public.”

Sure. Just like how video game drm impacts performance and watermarks on images degrades the image. Drm walks a tight line that inevitably makes the result worse than a drum-free solution, but also should not make the item completely unconsumable.

  • Video game DRM completely prevents people without a license/key to unlock it from accessing the game at all.

    • So, do you want to define drm by intent or technical implementation? I'm doing the former, but it sounds like you want to do the latter. Also keep in mind that legalese doesn't necessarily care about the exact encryption technique to be deployed either.
