Unpopular opinion: DRM is perfectly fine and there’s no good reason to break it. The Netflix and Spotify apps let you download content so that you can watch/listen without an internet connection. Subscription services are a great business model and I’m happy to pay for them.

I think it’s really interesting when people break it, and I know it’s fundamentally flawed. But it’s like cheering for someone who walks into the Netflix parking lot and kicks down a fence.https://twitter.com/david3141593/status/1080606827384131590?s=21 …

Dаvіd Вucһаnаn @David3141593Soooo, after a few evenings of work, I've 100% broken Widevine L3 DRM. Their Whitebox AES-128 implementation is vulnerable to the well-studied DFA attack, which can be used to recover the original key. Then you can decrypt the MPEG-CENC streams with plain old ffmpeg...Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 1 likeShow this thread -

The fences were already fallen over (look at any torrent site), I just pointed out that the screws were missing too.

That’s a good point. It’s a tricky situation. Do you think they should just send the unencrypted video files, since pirates will always be able to crack DRM? Or is it worth adding some kind of protection to make it a little bit harder for the average person?

Honestly, yes. It would be difficult to convince the license holders however...
