Just to add some fuel to the fire:

http://www.blu-ray.com/faq/#bluray_managed_copy
"This feature will enable consumers to make legal copies of their Blu- 
ray movies that can be transferred over a home network. Please note  
that "mandatory" refers to the movies having to offer this capability,  
while it will be up to each hardware manufacturer to decide if they  
want to support this feature."
