Editing Blu-Ray Ultra-HD DRM (section)

==Ownership concerns==
The restrictive hardware and software requirements to play AACS protected discs are designed in a way that goes against the [[right to own]], a key concept for consumer rights. Here's why:

#'''Lack of Permanent Access:'''  When decryption keys are stored on remote servers and require an internet connection to access, users are dependent on the continued operation of those servers. If the servers are shut down (e.g., due to company closure or discontinuation of support), the media becomes permanently unplayable. This undermines the idea of ownership, as users lose access to content they legally purchased.
#'''Arbitrary Revocation of Certificates:'''  The ability of AACS LA to revoke certificates at any time means that even if a user owns a legitimate player or software, it can be rendered unusable without warning. This creates a situation where the user's ability to access their media is controlled by a third party, not by their ownership of the physical disc.
#'''Closed-Source and Obfuscation Requirements:'''  The requirement for software to be closed-source and obfuscated prevents users from understanding, modifying, or repairing the software they use to access their media. This limits their control over the products they own and restricts their ability to preserve access to their media in the long term.<!-- try using this source here: https://www.gnu.org/proprietary/articles/uhd-bluray-denies-your-freedom.html#show2 -->
