Edit: solved i just used a paid app that gives you 3 free downloads

Hey, so I have some downloads on Amazon Prime that I want to remove the DRM from, however I only find deleted posts on Reddit or some sketchy programs/sites I really don’t trust. Does any of you guys know how to remove the DRM?

I’m willing to do a lot of work if I have to as long as it’s free.

Also, if it is an application that does it, I’d prefer FOSS even if it’s inferior.

Maybe I can reward the first person with a solution with some movie of choice😉

    Can you not just download them outside of Prime through torrents or similar?

        If it’s one movie, you could just record it using OBS.

          Part of the DRM is that it’s going to insist on a secure path to the display. It has the video decrypted in the gpu and sent directly to a secured HDMI port.

          Now whatever you do, don’t go out and buy a cheap chinese HDMI-> USB 3 adapter that lies about its secure status…

            Does Prime not have a browser client? Just record the screen.

              Have you tried it? Have you tried taking a screenshot of Prime/any other streaming service playing a video?

                I have not. This is the piracy sub after all ;)

                Yeah, I just did. Works fine.

                I didn’t try actually recording, but I can’t imagine it would be different.
