That's news to me. There is certainly no shortage of bluray titles on the darknet.
My understanding is that they managed to extract keys from crappily written player software. Blue-Ray AACS can revoke keys from future media, so I guess you would need constant updating of the stolen keys. That's a lot more work than for decrypting DVDs and current e-books. I can't see Joe Schmoe going to that kind of trouble with his legally purchased books. I _can_ see him going to the darknet, though, which is a different problem than what we're discussing in this thread.
