Getting started

To do this properly, you need to understand how those websites work.

For the shake of simplicity fellow "pirates", they utilize m3u wiki link

m3u8 99% of the time.

You will also need yt-dlp install it if you don't have already

Example on utilizing this knowledge

Go to your favorite streaming site
Simple press F12
Go to Network
Select XHR (XMLHttpRequest)
Filter URLs for m3u8
- If you find more than one, just test them out, you will soon find the trick on your own :)
Copy the URL
Open a terminal and type yt-dlp <your-copied-link>

Do it Ethically

Some may call us pirates, which I find really cool

But the true evil Pirates/criminals are the ones that keep the power to themselves and don't share it with others

Information is the only true power, and it should be free(free as in free speech) for all.
