So is my theory wrong about using that Android key extraction tool to possibly fix SF and Netflix?

This is a vey interesting subject, but somehow I don't think it is that easy. Clever people are working on something to make it as hard as possible to get broken, while other clever people are trying to break it. DRM is not just a key, it is a digital rights management (such as Widevine, FairPlay, PlayReady) to also control access in regard to view, copy some content and access privileges to the copyright protected material. Then you have the CDM (
Content Decryption Module) which takes the part of decrypting the content based on what DRM allows. DRM as well as CDM is protected code which is not free accessable and not easy to temper with. Even with the key you still need to "convince" CDM that the request is legit (bypass the CDM's verification process).
I am not a hacker but in this scene I wish I was. It's downright outrageous that I'm not allowed to copy or download legally purchased content (CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, or even streaming platform content) to store in a private media library (Plex) for my own personal use. This is because in all cases, copy protection is circumvented, which is illegal. StreamFab offers ways to circumvent this copy protection, but using it is... well, I don't need to elaborate. So what's the point of complaining to SF? Should it not be directed to the Copyright holders and Content rights owners? and especially to those who make the laws?
