While trying to find a torrent for a show, I became curious about how others are creating the torrents I know and love. Is ripping a video from a streaming service relatively easy? Are there tools y'all would recommend?

I haven't actually tried myself; but I've read many DRMs can be defeated by simply running the service in a VM, then screen recording the VM from the host.

Try to directly screen capture Netflix for example, and the webpage will appear as a solid black box in the recording; but not if the capture is done from outside the VM.
