I'm new around here, so I'd appreciate some context if anyone knows...

What are the legal ramifications of discussing piracy online?
What are the lines in the sand one should not cross? What do you do to make sure you stay safe out there?

I know linking to specific pirated content is against the communities rules so that seems like an obvious no no.

SOLUTION: I ended up going with Audials. Based on my quick testing it seems like this is the smoothest and best option to record edited content from Prime and other sources (I can have hardware acceleration turned on and it can still record just fine). This will be great for my home use recordings!

    I like to watch edited movies, and I edit them via browser extensions (Clear Play) or through other sites (VidAngel) where they edit them while streaming them. So you're definitely right - that would be easier, but for what I am trying to accomplish unfortunately screen recording seems like the best option...

    I’m currently using windows but my Prime streams stutter a lot and are all jittery. it’s really annoying. So I’m wondering if getting a mac mini or something a bit more powerful than my PC would help.

    Obviously there are DRM issues, those can be fixed on windows by turning off Hardware Acceleration in my browser. Is it easy to get around DRM on Mac?

    Anyone have any experience or know where I can go to get help/talk about it with people?

    System Specs: Intel Core i5 10400, GTX 1050 TI, 16gb Ram, 500gb SSD (for OS) and another 1tb SSD for recordings

    I use Bandicam to record my Edge browser. Prime is a bit smoother when I make sure my PC is not running on efficiency mode, but still stutters a bit.

    Other streaming services only run in 720p or worse, can't get them to get to 1080p which is my target. I have to use a 4k monitor to get Prime to play at 1080p.

    I should note that I purchased all of this content and I only use it for personal use as it's more convenient for me to have a video file than always streaming the edited content.
