- kristofferR 5y agoNot really, since that would entail breaking playback on current devices/firmwares. They can only try again next time (for 8K?).
- anonuser123456 5y agoBroken TZ does not mean the algorithms are broken, only that exploits exist to bypass TZ. Fixing the exploits doesn't break anything about the algorithms for decode / decrypt.
- kristofferR 5y agoI'm not sure what in my comment you were disagreeing to. Fixing the exploits would entail requiring a software update/breaking unupdatable devices.
- wmf 5y agoYep. I remember when Blu-ray "required" Windows Vista because it had better DRM APIs then a few months later the studios gave in and allowed playback on XP... which was immediately cracked. Ultimately you have to meet customers where they are which is old devices.
- R0b0t1 5y agoUntil current broken devices fall out of use. Eventually, all devices might be secure.
- realusername 5y agoExcept that people who exploit L1 just never reveal how they do it, good luck with that. That's the beauty of the asymmetry against DRM, only a single decoded file (which will always happen) is enough for seeding to everybody.
- SilverRed 5y agoThis seems to be confirmed by the fact that most torrent sites have 4K copies of brand new streaming only content while no publicly known exploits exist. Since you are running the exploit locally without affecting other peoples machines, I imagine it would be close to impossible to work out what exploit they are using.
- Wowfunhappy 5y agoAre those actual decrypted copies of the original stream, though? Or did they just re-record the output? For the latter you'd only need to break HDCP, right?
- lmm 5y agoIf the end user can't tell then it doesn't matter.
- Wowfunhappy 5y agoWell but there's likely to be at least a small quality difference, and a considerable a quality per file size difference, because the video would need to be re-encoded.
- kristofferR 5y agoYeah. They're WEB-DLs, not WebRips.
