Thanks for the heads up on Blu Ray, a technology that I will let pass me by

I now have a Blu Ray drive for my Linux machine.
DumpHD does not work on any modern titles due to an out of date host
private key.
MakeMKV does seem to work, but it is a binary blob and not open source
and you have to pay for it past 30 days trial.
If anyone can point me to an up to date host private key, I would then
be happier.
I finally have a host private key that works.
I am watching my first Blu-Ray on Linux now. ;-)
The thing I find unfair with this copy protection on Blu-Rays is:
1) I purchase the Blu-Ray drive.
2) I purchase a Blu-Ray movie.
It plays, but at any time I could put a new Blu-Ray disk in and it
will render all my existing movies unplayable.
I.e. Movies that played before, all stop working.
How is that fair?
And get this, the only way I get to watch my own movies again is if I either:
1) Obtain new firmware for the Blu-Ray drive. (Wastes about 30mins of
my time, and only if the manufacturer bothers)
2) Purchase a new Blu-Ray drive.
