It’s not a problem, it’s how subscription services work.
If there’s a system for doing something, there’s always a way to make it do things it isn’t supposed to do. I can’t imagine that I’m the first person to think that there must be a way to save those files in a nicer format. Surely someone has already made a program that either saves the files or converts them into mp4 or whatever.
Is there a way to “steal” the content? Yes, that’s how it appears on torrent sites.
