Imagine my surprise when I attempted to record the iPhone mirroring application, which was running on macOS. Apple did a great job on their DRM because I simply recorded a black screen while I was attempting to play back a video from an app on the phone.

I'm sure it's given some businesses the confidence to invest in iOS app development, but it felt bad.

I think that's for apps like Netflix or other movie streaming apps being recorded for piracy?

		Yes, or a video editing app that wants you to buy it. I'm not _entirely_ upset Apple is encouraging the market to develop high-quality solutions by allowing them to protect their revenue. But it felt bad as if they were reaching into my Mac. My iPhone is Apple’s playground. They let me use it. But I own my Mac, and if my eyes see something on the screen it feels dumb to send Tim Apple and Reed Hastings into my homeoffice telling me “no no get a capture card(?) or set up a DSLR to record your screen. But no direct recording big guy!”
