Unlimited ripping of Netflix "Watch Now" movies

A while ago we wrote about removing the DRM from Netflix "Watch Now" movies. At the time, it involved wading through a bit of HTML source to find the target video URL. Since then, a couple of important things have happened: a Greasemonkey script was written that makes it a bit easier to download and process the DRMed WVM file, and more importantly, Netflix is now allowing unlimited downloads.
What can you do with this? Well, you can download a number of videos ahead of time and then watch them at your leisure, especially if you travel a lot and are offline for extended periods of time. It also means you can convert the files to mp4 format for playing on your mac, iPod or Apple TV device. Or maybe you were hoping to finish that documentary you were making about the strange facial expressions of Sylvester Stallone and needed a few more clips to splice into your film...

Can you provide a direct link to the .JS file mentioned in the post? Downloading assumes that you're registered at Rorta...

Read the entire thread. Netflix is disabling accounts of people that do this.

Couldn't you just watch the movie and record it with screen recorder? I'm sure it's lengthy but you can more or less record any video this way. Camstudio is a free on screen recording app.
