Digital rights management (DRM) is the management of legal access to digital content.

BluRay decrypting: Torrent archive of keys (tux.social)

There is a barely online HTTP-only website of some guy who makes a software called "FindVUK". No idea how it works and what it does (yet), but the guy maintains huge databases of BluRay decryption keys.

Those keys are needed to decrypt encrypted BluRays. VLC together with libbluray and libaacs can theoretically use those keys to play the content.

It should be possible to use that stack to recreate something akin to MakeMKV with free software.

For now, here is the magnet link to the torrent including website archives and also libaacs (for Windows and MacOS, it is small so why not).

(The website is archived in the torrent. I dont share the link on purpose as it is BARELY online. Needed to download 2 text files at a time, that was the maximum or I got an error 503).

Yes and somehow that list is updated too. Maybe they use some extreme DDOS protection with very low speeds per client.
