Pirated copies of movies and TV shows are still very easy to access and download despite the efforts of production studios to diminish the activities of the torrent industry. This week, the torrent community might have just witnessed another milestone and could lead to the release of more 4K WEB-DL video files in the near future.
This breakthrough was confirmed when torrent fans spotted an “Aquaman” torrent file labeled Aquaman.2018.2160p.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.HDR.HEVC-MOMA. The keywords here are 2160p that means the video content will display in 4K resolution and WEB-DL indicating that it was sourced from streaming platforms and digital distribution sites like Netflix and iTunes. Also, MOMA refers to the handle of the torrent uploader who made this happen.
Torrent fans were quick to celebrate on Reddit threads and noted that this is the first time that a 4K WEB-DL file was made available online. This explains why the release of this particular “Aquaman” torrent was celebrated. TorrentFreak also pointed out that it is a possible indication someone has already cracked the iTunes encryption on 4K videos. It will only be a matter of time before more 4K WEB-DL — not WEBRip — will become available on torrent downloading sites.
It is also reported that other torrent users doubt the “Aquaman” release is a real 4K WEB-DL file. This is understandable considering Apple is known for having ironclad encryptions over its platforms.
A source of TorrentFreak weighed in on the possibility that iTunes might have really been breached. “Apple has 4k only on Apple TV running tvOS. I assume they skipped checks, if the device is jailbroken, and someone just dumped the encrypted stream and decrypted it via what’s in memory as keys,” said the insider.
However, Apple is expected to act fast by issuing a security patch soon to avoid more pirates accessing iTunes files. “I’m pretty sure Apple will react fast and block it via updates because they don’t have to keep compatibility with any devices like the iTunes desktop version,” the same source added.
