Hopefully, none of them are really required for daily use, because
almost *all* HD-Video rips, available via torrent-trackers are already
w/o encryption. So you need these libraries only if you're stupid
enough to buy original licensed Blu-Ray disks. The same applies for
DVDs.

Keeping in mind that if you will buy original disk, then you will
directly sponsor MPAA trials against file-sharers, I believe that this
is socially unacceptable behavior we mustn't encourage (people should
download unencrypted images instead).

So my opinion is that we should allow libbluray and reject the rest.
