Why? Because I own the disc and watch it when I want without having to go through a third party and be dependent on them giving me what I want. I'm getting ready to watch Gangs of New York on my dvd player. Exact same thing occurs in pure software - to play BR+ of a new title on a PC, you need to grab current player cert from software like DVDFab, and use that to compute disk VUK. It's not because they care about consumer protection, but because they don't need to pay the BR standard licensing fees for few bytes they can grab from a rom dump elsewhere.Ĭonversely, "legal" players get their certs continuously revoked due to em being dumped and burned into "counterfeit" players, in a hilarious game of DRM whack-a-mole. Chinese (Oppo etc if you want good quality) players are usually all like that. A player that is using someone's else key is "counterfeit", when running with unauthorized certificate dumps from licensed player (CERT+MKB=>VUK). However the keys are a WIPO market thing.

If a product fails due to no fault of the owner, due to an fault of engineering or design, the consumer is protected. The UCC protects buyers with an Implied Warranty of Merchantability. ''No, they're out of warranty, Samsung will just get the opportunity to sell them a new player, ''
