Carlton disucsses the difficulties of getting Blu-ray on the HTPC, the fact that there is no protected audio path (PAP) available on any computer, AACS protection and the many other issues. It's an excellent read on a subject that I think will become more-and-more important to HTPC users in the coming year.
