I'd happy accept a working libbluray, but I'd suggest to keep the
sans-libaacs solution to have it working with a known set of VUKs. So à
la if libaacs is not found, we simply do the key discovery from the
keydb.cfg file and try our best. In this case, 2001 could be played
without a problem.

What are the legal implications of a library with BD plus? I understand
the ramifications of libaacs, but are there also problematic parts in BD+?
