Almost certainly not.

The main difficulties are the authentication/encryption issues needed
to get the source to send the content and make sense of that content
once sent.

A good cryptoanalyst could probably do it, but it definitely would not
be easier.

It's a real shame that we even need to consider such techniques to get
access to legally bought and paid for content.
