OnlyFans Takes Down Widevine Decryption Project via DMCA
2025-04-28
Google's Widevine content protection system, used by major platforms like Netflix and OnlyFans, has long been a target for circumvention. OnlyFans recently filed a DMCA takedown notice with GitHub, resulting in the removal of a Widevine decryption project called CDRM-Project. The project contained code and instructions for bypassing Widevine DRM, allowing users to decrypt and play protected OnlyFans content. Despite GitHub's attempts to contact the developers, the entire project and its forks were removed at OnlyFans' request. This highlights the ongoing tension between DRM systems and digital rights protection, sparking debate about whether DRM excessively restricts legitimate users.
