Drives (or the keys that have been extracted from them)
which are identified as being able to assist in
accessing content without enforcing the
required content protections are disabled
(actually the decryption keys are revoked)
from being able to playback Blu Ray discs
until/unless new firmware (that reinstates
the content protections) is installed. It is
part of the AACS specs.

One can also revoke an entire family of players.
