11.8.0-41 updated NIM and it sends a ticket when it attempts to download title contents. This is currently the only instance that a ticket is sent, nothing else does (connecting to online services, etc.).
The server will check these tickets to ensure that the system is entitled to the game (i.e. you have purchased the game on eShop). Currently this only affects some first-party games. Soon, all games may use the new protection.
This intends to break all tools that download from the CDN, particularly ones used for piracy (e.g. freeShop, CIAngel, TIKShop, Villain3ds).
Staying on 11.7.0-41 or earlier won't make these work again. This is a server-side change. There is no workaround. You can't create signed tickets like Nintendo does. The age of super easy piracy is over.
Hopefully that clears some things up...
