It's obvious if you read the article in that context what they mean. I guess
if you didn't know that, it's possible it was less obvious.

Yes. I misspoke. But the blacklist from those disks also goes into the
players. (The blacklists being subtrees of the key tree.)

The players actually wind up blacklisting particular keys, IIRC. It's a
highly complex system, and now that you mention it, I'm not sure I still
remember all those details.

They do, but I don't think that has to do with the key stuff we're talking
about, since they just *always* refuse to play pirated movies regardless.
