Um, does this mean we can't download Scribd originals?

Currently yes. Scribd changed how Scribd Originals work and I have to figure out a way to reimplement it. I didn't mean to close the issue. Sorry about that.

@jo1gi I've started work on fixing scribd download, please check this branch
right now it is able to download the decrypted mp4/m4b file. Still have to figure out the tagging and the rest.
I'm pretty new to python development, so i might not do things the right way, and im not sure how much progress i will make, and if the code quality is acceptable to be merged upstream here. So, feel free to take it on from here.

@joshuatly Thanks. I will take a look at it.
