#3I've often wondered how easy it would be for people in the scene to rip Netflix or others streaming content. Isn't it as simple as getting the URL of the video player element in the browser and using cURL or wget?

Netflix is not just like ... DRM is often said to be "broken by design" but it is an actual thing you have to defeat, not some lie told to scare you away.

It is, but the resulting files are encrypted. Hence this post being about exposing CDMs (Content Decryption Modules). These use decryption keys obtained through hacking or paying internal staff. Once the decryption keys are exposed like this then the content providers 'burn'; them and generate new ones meaning the process has to start over again.

No, because the video is protected with the Widevine DRM. You can't just curl a resource, you will not get a usable output.
That said, it can't be all too hard as Netflix exclusives are all over the open seas.

There's a software kit distributed in "the scene" that downloads and decrypts Netflix content

It's not that simple. The video files are chopped up into pieces for streaming, so what you would download (assuming wget would handle the stream) are thousands of tiny files. You could reassemble them with ffmpeg, but first you'd need to decrypt them. It's the encryption that these leaked scripts take care of.

#9the videos look interesting but i am on linux and this looks windows only. also, i need some background knowledge to get this working so i could not retry.
a good attempt imo. if i had the time and the necessary technical competency, i would've loved to jump into it. for many years piratebay was my default homepage. now, lookmovie or vumoo gets my occasional streaming fix

#10The repos: https://github.com/widevinedump?tab=repositories
I don’t know why but for some reason I was hopeful to see unit tests in any of the repos. Searching “test” for that user doesn’t reveal any tests. :(
Even the digital property liberators/internet pirates don’t test their software. I feel like I’m on an island with a small population of test enthusiasts.
