The controversy has been served throughout the week regarding the Warner Bros movies that are offered on iTunes (or rather were offered) at 4K resolutions have become viewable only in HD even for users who had already bought it, that is, in libraries.
The first rumors have pointed directly to that this was precisely because some hacker had managed to access the DRM of the iTunes 4K movies and download them, but it is not known how much there is truth in this. The reality is that many movies, not just those from Warner Bros, are downgrading their quality from 4K to just HD within iTunes.
There are many titles that have gone from 4K to HD in recent days, an example is all the Harry Potter films, which are undoubtedly enjoyed and quite high quality. There is still no publication about it by the Cupertino company, we are not clear if this may be due to something temporary, since It is not the first time that in iTunes a movie goes from being in 4K to HD and then reverting to maximum quality.
