Netflix SD Quality

[DrXenos]

It's not an universal Law fortunately, even in E.U. countries have different copyright Law. Few of them for example allow torrenting or decode encrypted broadcasts (cabletv, sat) or decode Macovision or other copy protection system on vhs/dvd/blu-ray and DRM online as well.

But for personal use only. Don't allow to share or sell.

Unfortunately, though, the US likes to shove their laws down everyone's throat (just ask SlySoft).

Please be patent and wait. The SD thing isint Redfox wrong and it takes time to fix HD cdms and if that must be done for every service it takes time.

Unfortunately (or fortunatlely as TNC67 mentioned) most of the copyright laws in the E.U countries contain " ambiguous clauses".
For example in Germany it says that it is forbidden to crack "an efficent copy protection". But if you can crack the copy protection, is it efficient?

As far as I know there has never been filed a lawsuit against somebody.

This whole May 31st thing I keep hearing about sounds more like a Mayan calendar reading than an evidence based prediction.

Here's your evidence:

The latest Chrome CDM has been released with Chrome 89. This CDM will be updated for all compatible Chrome versions (starting from 68).

With the release of this latest client, Widevine will be removing support for older browser clients on May 31, 2021.

The DMCA has similar wording. It uses "effective" and "effectively," but people misinterpret it's meaning. In legal terms, "effective" doesn't refer to the "goodness" of the protection. I have no idea about the German law. I don't live in Germany.

The key line in that whole thing is this one

Anystream isn't a full-fledged browser. End of story. The Netflix and Disney+ sides are 100% in-house development? The amazon side is based on a chromium barebones implementation, and that one isn't outdated either. That is the final word on that. The so-called "doomsday" you folks keep talking about is still 2 weeks away and it may not affect anything in anystream AT ALL. You folks are acting like it's tomorrow or in a few hours. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

There will be NO further discussion on technical implementations of DRM technologies. Do i make myself clear? Over the past week we've had to lock nearly 2 dozen topics on this and each and everyone started out fine but ended up with users calling developers names, accusing them of being scammers and god knows what else. THIS ENDS HERE AND NOW! Everything that can be said, has been said! The subject of widevine and May 31st, is AS OF NOW OFF-LIMITS. That debate is now closed permanently since many forum users can't behave.

The next topic that gets opened on this will get an instant lock. The FAQ has been updated days ago in the regards of the DRM and SD quality on downloads.

End of discussion.
