> Hi! My name is WVDUMP. I am Leaking the CDM to burn it & punish few idiots that think themselves as dicord lords :smile: Why do so many people doing illegal/shady shit online use Discord? You might as well be using Facebook at the point.
Am I correct that homomorphic encryption will solve the DRM problem, in the sense that it will be mathematically proven (in the cryptographic sense) to be impossible to bypass? Of course, you'll still be able to cam-record the actual output, or steal the image from the TFT/OLED electronics, but no easy bypass.
As a rule of thumb, anything that was made by humans can be unmade by humans. All you can do is make the pirate life harder, but never impossible.
A pile of .exes and compiled python code like this, especially with such a targeted audience, seems like a great vector to potentially own a lot of people's boxes.

Who the hell skips car chases? What movie had a car chase that you wanted to skip that made that movie more watchable (this sentence applies to the furious films as well, skipping the chase scenes there gives you the dumbest drama of all time).
Car chases are often filler like action scenes in general are filler, IMO. It's not universally true and depends on how consequential the scenes are. If you could flash " " instead and not miss much, I don't want it. Movies with top, top notch action and/or better integrated action are exceptions. The original Matrix, John Wick movies, Baby Driver, The Italian Job, Mission Impossible, etc. Superhero movies are usuall…
Personally when I rewatch the Back to the Future trilogy, I skip much of the car chasing stuff.

The DRM technologies in place prevent screen recording from working, as far as I know. Or at least prevent it from working at high resolutions.
I found this interesting, so I tried: I recorded a HD movie on Netflix in Firefox, recorded using simplescreenrecorder on KDE5 in Xorg. I remember it was impossible to record shared screen in old (Ebay owned Skype).

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.
I assume at some point Widevine plugin decrypts these files to display the actual video stream in the browser, correct? Why don't they capture already decrypted stream?
DRM is dumb. I used to work on DRM. It was dumb then, it's dumb now.

As a counter example, I watch Bullitt just for the car chase.

the 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
I imagine it's windows only because widevine on Linux is crippled for many services, like HBO Max.
