Interesting, I think Kanopy uses widevine as well. How long will this last now that it has been posted to HN?

The L1 device key they posted was already revoked earlier today. The tools themselves might continue to work for a while longer with an appropriate non-revoked key depending on how much services want to change up their APIs.

ish. The link to Github prods Microsoft to either take it down, or leave it up, and we'll have to see what they do. Content producers aren't going to be happy about this and are going to put pressure on Microsoft to do something about it, same as with youtube-dl.

Yesterday's article links to this github page too and includes a screen shot of the related repos (possibly because they don't expect them to survive). Plus it's linked several times in the HN discussion.

One of the best layman hacks to rip all these services is still using ffmpeg/sse with Xvfb. They can DRM and engineer all they want but nobody can stop me from recording what's playing on my screen :D

If you try and screenshot or use something like OBS on Windows you just get a black box on top of the media content. Is that not the case using that solution?

I for one thank our piracy overlords who endlessly work to make every form of content (optionally) freely available in high quality.

I pay for plenty of subscription services that finally figured out how to make content as easy and accessible as piracy but there will forever exist legitimate gaps where “just pay for it” is simply insufficient (geo being #1, silly copyright owners #2, etc etc).

The other article mentions this dump is a result of a Discord dispute and we randos seem to be the winners. And who knows it might inspire others to get into the scene.
