There is software that can rip blurays and strip out the DRM. 4k only works with certain drives that have custom firmware available though.
MakeMKV for those wondering. I have yet to be unable to rip a disk with it due to DRM.
Right, which is why I recommend people back up their blurays. If you don’t, you may still loose access to your content on a normal player.
