Why are you worried about Sony owning the blu-ray format?
If they're decreasing their production, it could mean that physical media is ending. If so, that fucking sucks because you can't own anything anymore
You really don't understand how Blu-ray works, do you?
Regarding Blu-ray as a medium for movies: Sony isn't able do that kind of damage.
Blu-ray Association would go bananas:
What? No. If I write data to a Blu-ray it’s not encrypted. This comment makes little sense. Sony does not control “the encryption keys”, whatever that means.
It is if it's a commercially bought product like a movie, for instance, and without media being sold on it, the media would be basically dead for most people
