Only related tangentially, but I find myself breaking DRM simply because it is such a colossal pain otherwise. I didn't really care about DVD DRM as it was broken easily so I never created rips that I uploaded to the internet. I could pop it in and the software would do the magic for me. But for Blu-ray, most decent media players cannot read them. Even with libaacs, newer discs are often unreadable. So I find my self dumping keys, decrypting the contents and copying them to a BDMV structure, encoding them and then finally enjoying whatever I paid for. Which is faster than trying to get it to work normally.
