I find it funny every time I see someone complain about them making a new module or something and use those resources to fix the DRM. Clearly the DRM personnel have different qualifications than someone just making a module. Have you ever thought that those people don't know how to fix or crack DRM? Are those Module makers just supposed to sit at a workstation some where watching youtube or make random code that doesn't account to anything until the DRM fixers fix the issue? Read the room people and realize that people are hired to do certain things.

Do you, really? Read the room, yourself, and realize there
are no "DRM personnel" or "DRM fixers" who will be fixing "the issue," either now or in the future, unless SF comes to its senses and decides to bust a move and hire them. Any decent devloper could have decrypted Peacock long before this - so why, after all this time, aren't we direct downloading from that service? The answer is absurdly simple: SF doesn't
have any competent developers, which is - not so coincidentally - why they haven't cracked a single DRM (with the exception of Hulu) in four solid months.
See, we're well aware that they have people who can cobble together a poorly functioning rip-off of CleverGet to screen record/re-encode, but what's infuriating is that they're clearly not interested in maintaining SF as a functioning direct downloader -
which is the product we bought. It became very clear early in 2022 that SF's financial focus had shifted from maintaining the larger platforms to promoting the sale of crap add-on modules (which they would, in turn, stop maintaining). Problems that should have been easy to remedy for any developer who knew their job were never fixed, so it became increasing obvious no such person or people existed, nor was SF going to invest any money in hiring them. It didn't exactly take a psychic to see where this was eventually going to end up - namely, off the road and into the nearest ditch.
Let me point out yet again that the competition had cracked everything but Netflix within 10 days of the January CDM revocation. That's the standard. Accept it. Realize that to still be making excuses for SF four months later is, to be kind, extremely misguided on your part. Since you "realize that people are hired to do certain things," do you seriously believe that that Anystream snatched up every decent developer on the planet so that poor SF had no one to hire? Please tell me you don't believe that PornFab has actually been paying these mythical "DRM fixers" to thrash away at decrypting those DRMs for the past four months, and will just keep on merrily employing their talentless no-result behinds in perpetuity, on the off-chance that sometime in 2028 maybe they'll get lucky? Because yikes.
