- jimbob45 4y agoPatents only last 15-20 years, right? How is Blu-ray not public domain by now?
- TingPing 4y agoAn expired patent doesn't help bypass DRM.
- tragiclos 4y agoThe issue applies specifically to Ultra HD Blu-rays, which were introduced in 2016.
- HeadsUpHigh 4y agoWell thanks to the DMCA and friends even if the patent is expired if the tech is marked as drm you are not allowed to bypass it for eternity.
