The price of releasing on Blu-ray Disc has just now dropped by up to 75%! If the high cost of AACS copy protection has been holding back you or your customers away from publishing your content on BD, then you will be really interested in the info below.AACS fees have come down for all content holders, but the most substantial savings are for low volume and first-time publishers. E.g., the AACS costs for a first-time Blu-ray Disc publisher (for a run of 2,000 titles) has dropped from $4,300 to only $1,000; that’s a saving of over 75%. If you have already been releasing on BD, the AACS fees have dropped down from $1,300 to only $500; that is over 60% off the cost of your customers getting their BD content on disc.

AACS has established the license fee payable in yearly $500 increments rather than asking $3,000 at the time of signing the Content Provider Agreement; and you will be able to terminate your agreement at anytime. This one change makes it possible for first-time and low volume content holders to get started with BD with a very much lower start-up investment and at affordable per title costs.
