DRM is insane concept. I haven’t yet seen one that would actually “work” but like other commentator said main goal is to be obstruction enough to prove that you circumvented copyright policy in first place and to add to that it makes big bosses feel safer.

As far as I’m concerned if you have something that is sooo protected don’t upload it to public web; to access anything you have to, first, download its contents, second - eventually decrypt/decode.

Do the Netflix's/Windows's DRM work? Did they ever be bypassed?

They are bypassed, it's just that cracking groups don't publish their level 1 methods to not get them patched.

That's the beauty of the asymmetry against DRM, one file shared is enough to break it.

Yes, you need only take a quick look at the Movie/TV category of most any torrent site.

I would argue that you have a better user experience consuming media through torrents as opposed to the 6+ different user hostile streaming services.

There are torrents of Netflix's shows everwhere.

Pretty sure that Netflix DRM isn't too strong. I tried to save some series that was about to get removed. Didn't bother in the end but pretty sure it wasn't an insurmountable task to get the video to save to disk. I think I couldn't close the window while downloading, but apart from that inconvenience...

Windows is probably one of the most pirated software on the planet.
