As someone who recently bought the Firefly series on Blu-Ray a few weeks ago and attempted to play it on my Arch Linux setup it's very obvious why it gets pirated. On the disc it said I'm not allowed to copy it or RIP it however they put a lot of effort into revoking any decryption key in the wild a free and open source player may use to play the content. After about 6+ hours of trying to get the BD+ virtual machine to work on VLC i gave up and just torrent-ed the damn thing. I own the discs and I could probably RIP them but it's so much easier to just torrent it. DRM is a complete waste of time and the only reason they still insist on having it is so the can control where the content gets played and prevent free solutions from being able to play it. They get to charge you for the content and the company making the players for the right to play Blu-Ray discs the cost ultimately being passed on to you again.
