"A special piece of code is also added to these files to lock them with what is called digital rights management or DRM — a technological measure which prevents piracy of films."
They should probably update this to say "tries to prevent", as NF DRM has been long cracked.

- colde 9y agoDo you have a source for it being "cracked"? Circumvented sure, but the actual cryptography components haven't been cracked as far as I am aware.
- wolco 9y agoI think lower resolutions have been cracked. I don't think 4K has been cracked yet but the comment might be related to this bug. https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/6pkypj/direct_stream_copy_has_netflix_4k_streaming_drm/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/6pkypj/direct_strea...
- jccalhoun 9y agoI don't have a source that explicitly says it has been cracked but I saw a reddit post stating that all episodes of stranger things 2 was available on torrent sites less than 10 minutes after it went live on Netflix and people commenting on how it was possible because the drm was cracked
