I was curious about this recently. I was wondering about open files of well known artists.
Unlike netflix/YouTube its not immediately clear to me which Organisation would spearhead something like this out of their own interesting. Closest I know of is the MuseGroup, which are doing this "growing of the pie" with open source music creation Software.
Funny how how all the links, including the ones to their own pages, are routed through google.com/url, e.g. the link "Assets Available to Download". Usually tracking isn't quite this visible.
Anyone else surprised that the download links are plain HTTP without SSL? I know it's a page that in the past I would have typically not worried about securing - but nowadays it's SSL everything or else your browser yells at you.
Yeah, this is bad. The page almost seems like someone’s pet project that didn’t have any explicit funding and they got bored or left Netflix in 2020. I’m not sure how that would explain the lack of SSL cert except for just general lack of thoroughness.

Anyone know of something else?
The last addition was made in 2020.

It is very odd. I don’t see a good reason, not even tracking.
Aren't those just the URLs in google search results if you copy from the results page instead of clicking through to the destination?
There’s basically zero innovation in online video.
Such a pity startups can’t innovate on the content stores of the big companies.
I love it just because squid game.

Cool! I'm looking forward to going through some of these, looks very interesting!

I'm surprised they didn't use BitTorrent, with these HTTP links as web seeds. That'd make the most sense.
this is hosted on s3 which doesn't support HTTPS, that said - if they used cloudfront in front of this bucket, they could save $$$ and have a SSL
S3 absolutely supports HTTPS. I think they set their bucket policy to forbid HTTPS. The whole thing is odd.

The page look like zero effort given anyway, like one of the free templates you can find.
