I finally have a host private key that works.
I am watching my first Blu-Ray on Linux now. ;-)
The thing I find unfair with this copy protection on Blu-Rays is:
1) I purchase the Blu-Ray drive.
2) I purchase a Blu-Ray movie.
It plays, but at any time I could put a new Blu-Ray disk in and it
will render all my existing movies unplayable.
I.e. Movies that played before, all stop working.
How is that fair?
And get this, the only way I get to watch my own movies again is if I either:
1) Obtain new firmware for the Blu-Ray drive. (Wastes about 30mins of
my time, and only if the manufacturer bothers)
2) Purchase a new Blu-Ray drive.
