There are serious technical/cryptographic issues associated with that!  
In other words, it may never happen, at least not reliably. I don't  
know if you're making fun of me, or if you're serious, but either way,  
my point stands.

Subtitle extraction, given that Blu-Ray uses an MPEG-2 transport  
stream variant for data storage, does not seem too far-fetched.

Parsing text is much easier than cracking encryption and re- 
implementing a complex application runtime environment.
