So that's what happened to my Blu-ray drive on my PC! I had to flash the firmware to a custom version for ripping to get it to read anything.

That is incredibly shitty behavior. I'm putting the disk that I purchased into my own hardware. The studio already got my money from the sale, why the hell do they care?

    They care because:

    for ripping

    There would be no problem if you used a licensed software player to simply play back the disc. The problem is you’re trying to rip it with an illicit host key. They don’t want you ripping the disc and spreading it over the internet. You’re only allowed to play it from the original disc using a certified player.
