Could be, but the rumor of something like this happening had existed since the Vista era.
I don’t think it’s happening mostly because there is no real benefit for Microsoft. IP holders are not hounding Microsoft, and their store market share is inexistent.
I saw that once a while ago on reddit. If you’re pirating you should be hosting it on jellyfin or something then you’ll never even have a chance of Microsoft seeing your data.
Most VPNs these days don’t allow for static ports; Creeps figured out how to use them for sharing CSAM. So instead, the VPN assigns you a random port every time you connect.
For your torrent client, it’s just a matter of going to your settings and updating the port number when you reconnect. If the system has a stable connection and doesn’t sleep (like a server) then you won’t need to do this often. The port only changes when the VPN reconnects, so it’ll only be an issue if you have a blackout or your internet drops.
As for torrenting without port forwarding, results will be mixed. Some trackers will still allow it, some won’t. Some will only allow very limited speeds. So on the two extreme ends, you may be able to torrent just fine, or you may stall even when there are hundreds of available seeds.
I don’t understand it either as all the support pages indicate that you would need port forwarding in order to torrent but I’ve found this not to be the case. For reference I’m on Linux too using Proton VPN without port forwarding.
One person in the torrenting connection has to have port forwarding in order for the connection to occur. When you aren’t forwarding a port, you’re downloading from / uploading to only people who are. If someone has something you want but neither of you are port forwarding, you won’t be able to connect to them.
Same. With UPnP, muTP, and stuff, the downloads with a VPN are not slowed down in any way. Also my ports seem to be “blocked” right now but I still download.
Torrents still work, they’ll just be a little slower and you won’t be able to seed much at all. If you’re using public trackers it works fine. But if you want to use a private tracker that forces you to maintain a ratio, you’ll run into problems.
I recommend Mint to people. It’s pretty easy to set up and though it’s Ubuntu-based today they’ve got a straight Debian-based edition they’re getting ready to use instead.
Looks like Microsoft Pluton is a newly implemented security chip in some 2022+ processors. Definitely not ideal, but I imagine there are already people working to bypass arising issues.
An eye patch will suffice. If you really want to show your dedication, a wooden peg leg would be ideal. I should note that it is a bit difficult to conceal a peg leg in public.
If you are talking about effectively adding to the WEBDL scene as in taking streams directly from sites and decrypting them you are going to want to start to find your way into the scene more. I have no idea how to but I’d start with a more exclusive site like a private torrent site and work your way up to good standing through other upload grunt work like filling requests etc. This will in turn open you up to more exclusive forums on that site where you can ask this question again.
As far as I know all roads lead to a rooted a android device as a means to then figure out a way to either get he file without the DRM as part of the playback from the App or direct access to the full file in it’s original version and to then enploy the definitely closely guarded secret of how to crack the DRM. This is only stuff I’ve gathered randomly reading things.
Streaming services decide what content and quality they offer to which Widevine CDM level. Although Widevine or Google, really, recommends what quality to offer which Widevine CDM level, though not everyone adheres to these recommendations.
L1, like I said, is the 4K holy grail. It’s the highest Widevine CDM level and as such enjoys the highest level of access. L2 is irrelevant. L3 is a weird one, Google recommends 720p for L3 Widevine CDM from Android devices, but 1080p for ChromeCDM, which is an L3 Widevine CDM shipped with Google Chrome. For some godawful reason, select streaming services allow 4K content for L3 Widevine CDMs, which is why one streaming service can have more 4K WEBDLs than another streaming service despite an identical content roster. Most streaming services serve 1080p content to L3 Widevine CDMs.
How can you get an Widevine L1 CDM, you may ask? For one, you can’t buy one, that’s always a scam. Sometimes, there’re leaks, but streaming services revoke these leaked CDMs quickly. You can break the Qualcomm Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) to get an Widevine L1 CDM from Android devices. But the TEE is a high-profile target for everything Android related, so chances are it’s not gonna happen. But this is what they want you to do. Instead, ignore the TEE, hack manufacturers and issue your own Widevine L1 CDMs, or steal Widevine L1 CDMs from freshly produced smartphones, smart tvs, etc. Alternatively, try to work yourself into a position where you can steal Widevine L1 CDMs. Or operate a legal business and become a Widevine L1 CDM issuer yourself.
Widevine L3 CDMs are a solved problem. Dump them from rooted Android devices. ChromeCDM requires software reverse engineering skills.
