Is ripping streaming video a lot more difficult than ripping DVDs and Blu-rays? If so, are the studios winning the war on piracy? While videos ripped from discs are common, I have never seen a video ripped from commercial streaming video. I have seen movies exclusively available on streaming and have yet to see any ripped versions of them. And we know AnyDVD never has the feature for decrypting streaming video, and probably never will. As more and more people watch streaming videos from Netflix and the likes and fewer and fewer of them buy discs, it is easy to conclude that the war on piracy has already been won in the studios' favor. It's funny that torrent sites added the ability to stream videos in order to "compete" with Netflix and the likes. But of course, they can only stream videos ripped from *discs*. And some time in the future when discs are no longer made, will we actually see zero piracy? I never thought I would see that day. Three things have always seemed to be certain in life: death, tax, ... and pirated IPs.
