        You don’t need there code to play blurays. All you need is the decryption keys. Don’t get me wrong, DRM is bad but I think blurays are no where near as bad as malware.

        Also we don’t have a lot of options.

        I do not believe so. I use MakeMKV but that is not good practice as it is proprietary software. You can play Blurays with VLC but you need the decryption keys.

          VLC literally includes optional DRM circumvention that on most GNU/Linux distributions you need to deliberately install in order to play Blu-rays and DVDs. Thus, the use of illegal tools (illegal in the U.S. at least) is the only way you can play these physical digital media on Linux distributions without DRM software.
