Root apps not working because of root

Anonymous

Newbie
I downloaded google's movie rental app and it said the sevice wont work on my device because it is rooted. Is there a way around this? A way to hide root access from some apps?
 
The reason they wont allow it is because it stores the show/movie on you phone(which you can access because of root). So as a means of preventing pirating they don't allow you to use their service only solution would be to unroot as far as I know.
 
Would downloading a bunch of movies from them, then rerooting work? Or would the movies no longer be stored on the phone?
