    Will they eventually kill off the encryption keys for your blu-ray discs? I don’t know for sure, but I think there was some kind of online handshake required by these players.

        Yeah, but that’s only if you want to rip them on a PC isn’t it? Your domestic Blu-Ray player will presumably lose its keys eventually and become a brick.

        Edit: Googled it, no known ‘time bomb’ but players can potentially miss out on firmware updates and be unable to play some discs as a result.
