This level of effort is probably geared more towards those who create the torrents, not those who consume them.
heroes. we should support them more.
Hi. No it isn't. Things are usually ripped by recording the screen.
Which is accomplished by doing the described steps
Nope, those steps are the steps needed to legally watch Netflix on Asahi Linux on an Apple Silicon device, because Google has not officially released the widevine library for that platform
Maybe can we emulate this apple silicon processor? I will give it a try.
No the fuck it isn't.
YOU CAN BREAK HDCP BY USING AN HDMI SPLITTER.
I removed my downvote after realizing you're actually right, in a sense. In scene terms, a "webrip" can be a screen recording, whereas a "web-dl" by definition isn't. By these definitions,
could likely be true, even moreso if you count "recording hdmi stream after breaking hdcp" as a screen recording.
Most rips are webrips. At least the first ones. Then once the DVDs/BluRays come out they're usually remuxes of those. Very few organizations know how to breake the web DRM thing, and it takes a while.
Rips are rips, with a degradation in quality compared to the captured source. WEB-DLs are the source itself (of a chosen resolution), with no degradation.
