Ironically, your entire post can be read as such, almost perfectly!

Labeling each sentence (J)ab and (T)hrust, and using colon ":" to indicate arguments, one gets:

```

J: J. J. T.

J: "J. J. T".

T: T.

T: J. J. T.

```

Question - How does this capture the entire screen, except its own window?

I've tried making similar functionality in Python to add visual effects to the screen, but the only way I found is to use one of the packages which leverage the Screenshot functionality.

But this causes recursion since my app's window will be in the screenshot (unless I put my app on a different monitor or a different area of the monitor). How do they avoid that?

Interesting analogy with money but I don't think it holds up.

Money requires scarcity, otherwise its utility goes down. En masse, money copying would bring about hyper inflation very quickly. Society loses.

On the other hand, what work of art requires scarcity to be enjoyed? Personal sexy videos don't count here, as that's a privacy matter not a scarcity issue.

I can see that argument working for the fashion industry for example: buying clothes from an exclusive designer has the value of making you look unique. If suddenly that outfit gets copied and everyone is wearing knockoffs, you no longer look unique.

However if someone pays to rent a movie, and someone else pirates it, none of the consumers lost. The copyright owner only loses if a sale would've otherwise happened.

So I think that outcomes matter according to specific scenarios, and showing damage should be essential in court cases. Too many innocents have their lives ruined by inflated piracy claims that truly caused little damage.

> Form factor is, candidly, still too big for my tiny hands

As someone frequently getting pinky finger injuries from holding my phone, I feel you.

Popsockets are a solution, but an annoying one that changes the form factor my phone and doubles as a potent trigger for fidgeting.
