That's fun... if you connect your DVD player to the internet.

No, they can ship updates on new disks and the player will read the code when it reads the movie.

So, pop in a new disc, and it comes with a new list of all the content that is not allowed to be played anymore? Ergo your old discs stop working because your player now knows the license expired or something stupid like that?

That's literally evil.

Yep, it was even part of CSS (the older DVD DRM), but there they could "just" prevent playback of a given disc on certain players.

AACS2 allows for carrying revocation lists on discs now.
