The point of semi-unusable DRMed crap when L1 released keep getting WEB-DLed?
Very likely it's not the Shield now which leaks L1, but an actual key recovery because they get the stream even before it gets watermarked in the secure domain.
My guess, it's Qualcomm's debugging TZ applets. They cannot really revoke keys because they will take down a giant amount of Snapdragon based handsets for which manufacturers don't bother to put a single OTA.
This is also likely why Netflix uses such a silly restrictions as refusing to run on old Android version numbers on some Snapdragon handsets, which are easily root bypassable.
Lately Google has mostly stopped revoking whole devices. Instead, when someone extracts a key from a device and it leaks publicly, they just revoke that one specific device's key. That improves the experience for legitimate users, but also means the person who extracted the key can just go buy another device of the same model and use the same exploit to extract a new working key.
1080p WEB-DLs are very common if you're in the right places, but even public trackers should have plenty. 4K is slightly less common but does also happen, with frequency depending on the streaming service.
The Grand Tour S04E03 4k web-dl is readily available on private torrent trackers hours after public release on Amazon Prime.
No idea what encryption Amazon use, but suffice to say it is thoroughly broken by someone out there. Given the expense of acquiring those presenters and the production costs of their shows, and how they bring people to the Prime video platform, I suspect Amazon is reasonably interested in keeping that content protected.
