Even Widevine L1 is effectively broken. The actual protection offered by it is negligible. Will it stop the average Netflix user from "Right Click -> Save File" on any episode? Sure. But it does nothing to prevent pirated content from being released on the internet and other people downloading said content.
I oppose piracy, but I really wish rightsholders would give up on requiring DRM at this point. It only makes things more annoying for people who legitimately bought the content. At least the music industry went back to offering DRM-free downloads. I hope the video industry gets there as well.
