Do the Netflix's/Windows's DRM work? Did they ever be bypassed?


They are bypassed, it's just that cracking groups don't publish their level 1 methods to not get them patched.

That's the beauty of the asymmetry against DRM, one file shared is enough to break it.


Yes, you need only take a quick look at the Movie/TV category of most any torrent site.

I would argue that you have a better user experience consuming media through torrents as opposed to the 6+ different user hostile streaming services.


I’ve noticed this lately. Found a streaming site and it just has so much more content and the site is so well organized and I’ve found lots of good shows on the front page. Netflix is lacking good suggestions and Amazon video really sucks and is more trying to push paid for videos which I want nothing to do with.


There are torrents of Netflix's shows everwhere.


Pretty sure that Netflix DRM isn't too strong. I tried to save some series that was about to get removed. Didn't bother in the end but pretty sure it wasn't an insurmountable task to get the video to save to disk. I think I couldn't close the window while downloading, but apart from that inconvenience...

Windows is probably one of the most pirated software on the planet.
