   Hi Randy,   
      
   I have no personal experience with BluRay since I don't have a BluRay   
   drive in my computer. I think that DVDFab can remove the protection from   
   BluRay disks though. Whether there is something similar for Linux I have   
   no idea, but possibly worth a look.   
      
   Trevor.
