 # Lossless stream rip cheatsheet
 
-This is a short cheatsheet to help you determine whether a release from Amazon, Hulu, or Netflix contains the lossless/untouched (as in no further loss of quality compared to what the streaming services provide) video/audio or not, since tagging is not always consistent and therefore it's an unreliable way to determine this alone.
+This is a short cheatsheet to help you determine whether a release from Amazon, Hulu, or Netflix contains the lossless/untouched (as in no further loss of quality compared to what the streaming services provide) video/audio or not. Most newer P2P releases are correctly tagged, but for older releases, it cannot be reliably determined based on the tags alone.
 
 In most cases, non-lossless rips from these services are screen captures (which, when done by professional releasers, should be high quality and contain little to no glitches – see the history section for details), but in some cases they may be simply reencoded from the untouched stream, for example to crop black bars or reencode from a higher-quality stream to achieve better quality. Also, generally the audio is untouched even when the video is not, but that's not always the case. There is no easy way to differentiate these cases, so I'm only describing what to look for in regards to lossless video streams, and for those, you can be quite certain the audio is losslessly preserved as well. Internal releases on private trackers such as BTN generally provide such information about the video and audio, but in practice these notes rarely make their way to other sites.

 Let's start with P2P groups. Historically, on BTN, the `WEB-DL` tag was reserved for releases from iTunes, which has a long-standing public method to break its DRM, and `WEBRip` was used for rips from streaming services with weak or no DRM. When content from streaming services such as Amazon, Hulu, and Netflix started being released, since it wasn't possible to break their DRM, screen captures ("caps") were made instead. (These are generally done using a lossless HDMI capture card and then the 300–400 GB output is reencoded to a reasonable size. This can be done because HDCP is already broken.) But there was no explicit provision in the release name rules for this, so `WEBRip` was used.
 
-Later, it became possible to circumvent the DRM used by those streaming services.
