MAM is unusual, but not really for any of the reasons you mentioned. Every private tracker I know of only allows a narrow list of desktop clients.

The expectation on private trackers is that you’re seeding 24/7 or as close to that as possible. Not that you just seed when your laptop lid happens to be open. If you want a cheap low-power seeding setup, get a Raspberry Pi or some other single-board computer and connect it to an external hard drive. Seeding from a smartphone, especially one you actually use day-to-day, is just not going to work and battery optimizations are only one reason why.

Presumably the watermark is just going to be intractably encoded into the video file that’s shipped to the theater. Doing it any other way wouldn’t make sense.

It’s basically impossible to detect well-designed steganography (invisible watermark) unless you have access to the algorithm that writes or reads it, or multiple comparable copies of the media.

I can’t help but wonder, shouldn’t this all be possible on Linux without needing to install a hacked hypervisor? At most you would need a kernel patch, but since Denuvo operates through Wine, maybe an entirely userland solution would be possible too.

I think you’re severely underestimating the effort of digitizing it. Usually the way that’s done is to break or saw off the spine and scan every page individually using a scanner, which is obviously a destructive process. Unless it’s an exceedingly rare book it probably is not worth the effort.

Half the problem with capitalism is that we aren’t allowed to bash in the heads of the people who took all the resources.
