I've often wondered how easy it would be for people in the scene to rip Netflix or others streaming content. Isn't it as simple as getting the URL of the video player element in the browser and using cURL or wget?
Netflix is not just like <video src="something I could put into VLC">... DRM is often said to be "broken by design" but it is an actual thing you have to defeat, not some lie told to scare you away.
