Getting started
To do this properly, you need to understand how those websites work.
For the shake of simplicity fellow "pirates", they utilize m3u wiki link
m3u899% of the time.
You will also need yt-dlp install it if you don't have already
Example on utilizing this knowledge
- Go to your favorite streaming site
- Simple press
F12 - Go to
Network - Select
XHR(XMLHttpRequest) - Filter URLs for
m3u8- If you find more than one, just test them out, you will soon find the trick on your own :)
- Copy the URL
- Open a terminal and type
yt-dlp <your-copied-link>
Do it Ethically
Some may call us pirates, which I find really cool
But the true evil Pirates/criminals are the ones that keep the power to themselves and don't share it with others
Information is the only true power, and it should be free(free as in free speech) for all.

I always heard rooting an android device wipes the DRM keys - is it not true then?
There is a website in my country hosting DRM-protected documentaries. So far I only was able to screenrip that from FF with disabled hardware acceleration using OBS, but that method sucks since I can't really use PC at the time. I might give this one a try then...
Long time root user here, I use a lot of extension with it such as Xposed and Frida. Even though there are tools with which you can manipulate DRM, I have never heard of one that can completely remove them and successfully play a DRM-protected content. The closest one to what you mentioned used to be able to remove the DRM library from the system but couldn't play anything on Netflix.
