I for one thank our piracy overlords who endlessly work to make every form of content (optionally) freely available in high quality.<p>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).<p>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.
One of the best layman hacks to rip all these services is still using ffmpeg/sse with Xvfb.<p>They can DRM and engineer all they want but nobody can stop me from recording what's playing on my screen :D
Even before these tools doesn't really seem to affect the pirates. The rips on pirate sites (not that I've watched them!) are pretty flawless and they're out very quickly after the initial release to the streaming site.
What is the CDM mentioned in this description?<p><a href="https://github.com/widevinedump/WV-AMZN-4K-RIPPER" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/widevinedump/WV-AMZN-4K-RIPPER</a><p>They mention you can email for the CDM and it's not free. Disney is the same.
What surprised me is how quickly it felt like the consensus went from "DRM is evil" to "Neat, Netflix!". Same thing with privacy and anonymity online.<p>I have to imagine it's because the internet quickly filled with people not primed to be interested in those concerns and so they became popular in spite of the previous concerns.<p>Less like the boiling of the frog metaphor and more like they started boiling a mouse and then threw a million frogs in, so the mouse didn't matter anymore.
I accept that Netflix and Disney are rental services. Google and amazon however "sell" films and series that can be accessed through their service. In my opinion users should have a legally protected right to download / backup any content that they buy that is not explicitly time limited.
I never understand what pushes people to download Netflix/Disney media and share it on torrent sites.<p>Don't get me wrong, I am glad they do. But, what is the positive for them?<p>The negatives (angry copyright lawyers from one of the richest corporations) outweighs the positives (some clout on 1337x or Usenet or wherever these guys dump it)
i have copies of every repo the user has uploaded (12 total)<p>if you are looking for anything and it happens to be removed, email me at diogenesjunior@protonmail.com and i will happily provide a copy for free :)
I wonder(worry) that this dump is actually a key honeypot.<p>May have people thinking: "I already have a <STREAM-SERVICE> account, but with this I could at least get 4k."<p>They put their legitimate key in, and maybe it phones home the key before begining the download?<p>This comment from a previous thread illuminates some concerning oversights concerning public repository etiquette:<p>> I also noticed it provides part of the functionality with a .pyc file, without including the normal python source.[0]<p>[0] <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29704610" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29704610</a>
I don't understand the point of these. Couldn't I get any content from a streaming service via streaming it and screen recording?<p>Does this allow you to download the videos without an account?
The saturation in digital/streaming video is simply out of control now.
I'm gonna buy Netflix, Amazon prime since it's free with prime anyway, and maybe just another one like Hulu on a subscription basis.<p>But no, I'm not gonna throw my dollars on every little platform out there like Disney+, HBO, Vudu, Fandango, and other crappy services from other companies just because some content I needed exists only there. Guys, if we look closely this is basically all back to TV Channels all over again.
So, no thank you. I'll keep pirating my content with a VPN.
Who has time to program something like this? To be this good at making software but not employed making it? Or is this teams working in their spare time?
The amazon app for Samsung TV's does not tell you if you already rented a movie or not, it just displays the price. Will someone here get this fixed? Its not worth even explaining why this is horrible.<p>Edit: If it was included with Prime and not for rent it would display "resume" or "play from beginning".
I subscribe to all these services and I’m thankful these tools exist.<p>Yesterday I was on an 8.5h plane ride and of course, all the movies I pre-downloaded on Disney+ refused to play because it kept wanting to connect to the internet first.<p>Netflix refused to download anything because apparently I have stuff downloaded in too many devices. Which to me, they should provide an easy way to deauthorize the other devices, but not sure what that’s even an issue since I have 4 profiles.<p>Apple TV has been pretty great so far without issues.
I’d be happy to pay for content if there was a cohesive interface to actually consume it. Alas, at the moment that interface is Plex and the various ‘*arr’s.
