How to RIP? (programming.dev)

As the time passes more and more it seems that the popularity of Pirates is decreasing, I was a teenager in 2010s and invested a lot of my time learning Torrents, Pirated Game websites, identifying good sites, educating others about piracy, etc. But it seems with the recent crackdowns and trends I feel there might come a time when I would struggle to get content I like from pirated sources.

I am quite technically gifted person, have been a Linux poweruser for years and have software development experience.

I would like to contribute to scene, and looking to start with Streaming services. Have done my research regarding the DRMs and how these services utilizes browser codecs to decrypt streams but didn't have succes on my own.

Do anyone know anything regarding the ripping scene and introduce me to it?

I think that most groups that have ways to circumvent DRM for direct rips keep it close to the best, which is why you don't see direct rips aside from more popular titles much anymore, and by very few groups.
