"Widevine Dump":Leaked Code Downloads HD Video from Disney+, Amazon, and Netflix

Don't fork, just clone to your local system. When it gets taken down the forks will disappear, whereas the clones will not. You can also just download a zip file.

Don't want to be (too) condescending, but, as an old-timer it's kind of wild to me that people who work with tech a lot do actually sometimes need to be reminded of this.

  #!/usr/bin/env bash
  API_URL="https://api.github.com/users/widevinedump/repos"
  for url in $(curl -s $API_URL | jq -r '.[].html_url')
  do
    echo "Cloning: $url"
    git clone $url
  done

was what did it for me. basically claiming superiority prior to any actual engagement/discussion.

GitHub et al have taken over so ubiquitously that many developers I know have no idea that a bunch of what they do isn't even Git, and a bunch of what they don't do, is.

I wonder if GitHub will volunteer your detached fork for an experiment in touching hard drives with magnets

I'm still not convinced it wasn't a troll thread. Its like its either a troll, or a coding academy class just graduated alongside a bunch of self-starters that made "coding" their pandemic project, where some popular TikTok content creator must be telling people to hang out on hackernews.

edit: I tried to keep it simple so that a null-edit would suffice to scrub the comment in question. But since I have to explain - the author runs the service for which they're providing instructions. This creates a straightforward argument that they intend their service to be used for storing forbidden files. Such "contributory infringement" is exactly how the copyright cartels have gone after youtube-dl, Popcorn Time, and many other general tools.

The exposure, the name recognition, the PR coup that this would be ... would dwarf every effort we have ever made in over 20 years of trying to publicize our company.

Seriously: If you work for any of these "aggrieved" content providers and if you really want me to buy the Aspen house ten years early, dear god please sue us.

I wish I were wrong, but I've seen no indication that courts respect digital privacy the way that physical boundaries have come to be respected (eg the US's 4th Amendment) - if you have the ability to do something about possibly forbidden communications, then you will be forced to. Digital privacy rights feel at least a few decades off, and that's assuming the centralizers don't continue to successfully embrace-extend-extinguish.

... which works because the 'git' binary is maintained on rsync.net and can be executed over ssh[1].
