A compromise might be to author with AACS but silk-screen the disc key onto it? The DRM is how the disc key is protected, once you have the key it's simple decryption.

I actually thought of this. You could put the key on the disc, or publish it, or include it as a file on the disc in a standard location. But no dice: it turns out the encryption is managed entirely by the replication plant. The plant makes the encrypted golden image from the unencrypted image you give them and even you, the disc author, never get to see the keys.

its easy enough to get the VUK after the fact. It really depends who/when the silkscreen printing is done.

Nah, I'm sure that would be breaking all the contracts.
