As set in the Blu-ray Disc Specifications, it is mandatory for each BD Disc to be AACS protected. Therefore, all content owners are obliged to sign a “Content Provider Agreement” with the AACS LA. This link http://www.aacsla.com/license/ takes you directly to the licensing page of AACS LA.

The licensing agreement can be found under the following links:

After receipt of your content/master as well as your purchase order, the master will be checked internally and after the check is completed without error the Content Certificate is ordered with the AACS LA. This usually takes 2 working days.

After the AACS has signed the Content Certificate and returned it to our facility, the customer’s master is encrypted with the Content Certificate as well as an individual Media Key Block. The master is now ready for Glass Mastering and Galvanic.

It is strictly forbidden and technically not possible to manufacture or attempt to manufacture an AACS unprotected Blu-ray Disc.
