DRM Hell
Amazon Prime, like many services, is a DRM hell. It won't go to over 480p on Firefox on Linux at my end. However, instead of a rant, I am interested in why this is happening. Say, I rented the same film from YouTube Movies(Yes, such a service exists) and the quality can toggle all the upto 1080p but the same title on Prime Video is stuck at 480p. Is it because both services use two DIFFERENT kinds of DRM?

But... Why? Why would they get different restrictions on the basis of operating system?
Because they are assholes.
Because you could use the Linux one to save the file unencrypted because it's not locked down.
I could do that on Windows, too. Piracy os equally possible on both
