   Ayyy the replacement drive works! Guess I really did just get a bad drive. Now I can watch Sponge Out of Water without resorting to piracy! Wouldn't want to be like Patchy, would I?

   Well, I had to pirate the software to play Blu-Rays in the first place because for some reason the drive doesn't come with it, and Blu-Ray is a horribly over-protected medium that I'm not going to pay $100 to play discs I already own on a $60 drive on a $1500 computer. I've heard it is one of those scummy softwares that also tries to get you to pay for updates so you can play newer discs which is just stupid.

   Is it not enough that I bought the physical disc to begin with instead of ripping it from the internet? This proves that piracy is mostly a service problem, just like our good man Gaben said.

     The software to play Blue rays is kinda illegal in here. Obviously, I had no idea about that shit when I bought it or the disk.

     Yeah... Let's just pretend that it makes sense anyway.

     The blue rays are all encrypted, and I have no right to download the description keys. :peepoShrug:

     @LukeAlmighty whack. yeah the only way it is technically legal is by using this software, because they get all the keys. that's why it needs to update often and i guess why they start charging for updates or something. i don't know if it's movie studios charging them a ridiculous amount or the company itself charging a lot, but either way it's stupid.

     it's like dude... i bought the damn thing. just let me play it and then black out the screen if i try to record it or whatever.
