Nobody cares about cracking Widevine to extract 4 Mbps Netflix streams when Blu-ray rips are already available on the Pirate Bay. But if someone does crack it, Google will release a Chrome "security update" that makes it just different enough to make the crack not work, they'll tell Hollywood everything is fine, and the process will repeat until one side gets bored (see iTunes).


I thought Netflix was creating content now that isn't available through other streams; perhaps I'm mistaken I don't use it.


they are creating it, and it's being shared on torrent sites. DRM is effectively useless.
