Did you know that blu-ray players with online capabilities that get firmware updates can lock you out of watching your physical media if you don't update them? This is because newer blu-ray discs can include updated encryption on the disc itself that the player is designed to reject if it doesn't have the updated keys to the digital locks encoded on your discs.

What happens if the company that provides these firmware updates to your blu-ray player goes out of business or simply stops providing them for free? You now have no access to your physical media that you bought and paid for.
