I thought they were already being protected by DRM.
Kinda, but it doesn't work very well. Using video download manager you can download pretty much every video from the web
Can you recommend me one that can be used to download DRM protected content from OTT platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime and Mubi? Might well as archive the content I watch.
Sadly I can't, netflix won't let me watch anything on Librewolf/Firefox on linux. I'd recommend looking into getting a good proxy, a Jellyfin server and also the *arr stack (Sonarr, etc...)
by proxy, do you mean a vpn?
Yes, personally I use ProtonVPN. Iirc they don't care about copyright laws because they don't really apply in their country, I might be wrong though
Also make sure your ip doesn't get leaked by your torrent client
I have been using PIA for sometime. Has port forwarding and have been liking it so far.
Don't know about that one, you can check for IP address leaks here https://ipleak.net/
Also https://browserleaks.com/ is pretty useful
And last but not least, inform yourself if PIA is trustworthy, some VPN providers gave information about their users to the police
