Generally I'd consider any pre-MKBv68 Bluray pretty userfriendly if it doesn't use BD+. Fully liberated playback thanks to the internet. Don't throw in a newer disc though, it will chain your drive again.
Unfortunately I think AACS 2.0 has moved to always online. That's a shame because it basically means you're getting sold a disc of bytes noone can use ever again, once the servers go down...
- m463 6y agoThat's silly. The kind of people who buy physical media are the ones who can't or don't want to be online. (maybe hi-bitrate 4k is one reason) Maybe its just a planned phase-out so they can sell movies to you again and again.
- fock 6y agoIf you refer to the first part of "thanks to the internet": for basic BDs, keys to decrypt are available up to the end of 2019 (depends on the release profile). For newer/4k movies, these keys are not supposed to be used offline and as such have to be checked out (with your client verified) online... As for your latter part: yes, I guess that's the aim, but piracy generally works just fine for streaming. And as long as China is not the cultural hegemon, some way to grab the bytes off the transport will be available.
