#12Just goes to show that the DRM is just security through obscurity.
True for Widevine L3, which is what the article is talking about. Not true in general, and not true for L2 or L1.

At the end of the day, the user's hardware/software has to be given a decryption key for the content, and the DRM scheme is all about obfuscating that encryption key so that users can't find it.

I'd argue the same goes for L1 and L2. But the obscurity is provided by the silicon packaging process.
Would be nice to crowdfund a lab to break these hardware backed treachery schemes.

#15> This should be alarming to anyone with a stake in content "protection". Look how many hoops I had to jump through just to legally watch Netflix as a paying customer! This tells me I should just stay on macOS or Windows rather than go on a Safari hunt for getting Netflix working on a ARM Linux machine.
The browser compatability is still a bit of a mess on those OSes. The only way to get the full resolution on MacOS is to use some specific combinations of Safari and MacOS versions. If youre using OSX or using Chrome/FF you're limited to 720p https://help.netflix.com/en/node/23742
Pirates meanwhile have no issues...

The “security through obscurity” chant needs to die. It’s such a generalized concept it applies too broadly.
Encryption is “security through obscurity”.
Having few admins is security through obscurity; a guessing game of who is the admin?

I believe that L2 would be weaker than L3 in practice, which likely explains why I've also never seen it implemented (If you know about an L2 instance I would be genuinely interested in taking a look)
Re: The Quest for Netflix on Asahi Linux
#18Does this actually get 1080p? I thought L3 was limited to 720?
L3 is weak enough that you can dump it by just hooking the decoders.

> Most streaming platforms will limit you to only "HD" content on L3 (as opposed to 4K on L1). On Netflix, this upper limit is 1080p (although it might depend on the specific content you're trying to watch?), but you are further limited to a mere 720p by default. For some reason, you can only get 1080p if your client asks nicely for it (at the protocol level), and there are browser extensions that do this for you automatically.
