That's the equivalent of sitting in a movie theater with a camcorder. Not important enough to bother crafting a solution for.


I would say it's completely different. A camcorder movie has bad quality, most people would rather pay for a good quality movie than a free camcorder one.

For sensitive data on the other hand quality doesn't matter as long as it's readable.


Plenty of people would pay to watch a camcorder copy of a new release film rather than pay the cost of taking the whole family to the theatre. That’s why it was commonly done. Now you just go online.


But if it makes Microsoft’s claim untenable then it’s worth noting that security is only limited…a sweeping generalization that “screen capture is blocked” isn’t really valid anymore.

Making something more difficult is okay to claim in my view, but trying to over-state capabilities or security concerns is problematic.
