Others have responded too, but I think it's worth re-stating it in
a short, sweet form: they got DRM (spelt around here as "Digital
Restrictions Management") right-er than in the first round (DVD).
This makes it less compatible with a free operating system.
Whereas we could work around that reasonably with libdvdcss in
the first round, they are much more draconian now and just accept
that a whole bunch of players stop working (disabling their key
when it becomes compromised).
So expect some "interoperability problems". They are by design.
