the release groups don't publish much detail on their methods, lest they get patched. I doubt they use screen-capture, as this would involve reencoding an already bandwidth-starved video stream. my best guess is they have exploits for each service to extract and decrypt the stream, then remux into an mkv for distribution.
- tshaddox 6y agoI would have guessed that it's more likely that these rips are easily available precisely because there are some old devices out there with a breakable DRM that streaming services can't disable from their end because the devices are too important to their customer base. Like, there's probably some old smart TV or set-top box platform that Netflix has to support because they have half a million subscribers using it, but it won't receive firmware updates and can only support some old DRM that has been broken.
