I've recently ordered a lot of live music on Blu-ray from Netflix.
And the quality of HD sound is awesome.

I also received a regular update from AnyDVD, and the changes in this rev are:

7.0.3.0 2012 04 19
- New (Blu-ray): Updated decryption keys
- New (Blu-ray): Support for new BD+ protection
- New (Blu-ray): Support for new Java based protection
- New (DVD): Support for new copy protections
- Fix (Blu-ray): Online connection was required for certain discs,
where it shouldn't be necessary

- Fix (Blu-ray): Speedmenu could crash with certain Blu-ray discs
- Fix (Blu-ray): Corrupted menus if region code removal is enabled
with some discs
- Change (Blu-ray): Removed limit of max. 64 title keys
- Some minor fixes and improvements
- Updated languages

I haven't really researched this, but could it be true that Sony is now requiring an internet connection on BR discs. If so, it would seem like we've given control of HD to a very greedy giant that has no qualms about how invasive they can be.

Anyone heard anything about this?
