Yes I'm aware of the products that can break the protection and rip to disk, however they're still skirting the law, see the
RealDVD case as an example. In fact, I'll be watching the BluRay of Harry Potter the Prisoner of Azkaban later tonight and having to use one such program in order to do so, since the Mac has no officially licensed software players available
Then consider that ripping and playing back a bluray/dvd from your home library is becoming harder due to audio watermarking. It's now mandatory for all future bluray players to check for the watermark as well. Whilst it's still possible to playback on a home PC, it's getting harder with streaming/playback on dedicated devices. For example, playback on the PS3 of watermarked content is no longer possible (unless you get into firmware hacking or use an older firmware version and accept the issues that can bring with regards to being banned from online play)
