I never completely stopped collecting conventional DVDs specifically because of the Blu-Ray DRM scheme and it's need for an external decryption key. The few blu-rays I have are either from DVD+Blu-Ray bundles or because standard DVD wasn't an option.

I know there have long been workarounds but I don't know if there's ever been a "crack" per se.
