It’s just one company, it’s not all the Blu-ray production stopping. I think the last time I bought any Sony recordable media was CD-Rs for my MP3 CD player in the mid 00s.
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.

Sony owns the blu-ray format. I’m worried.
Why are you worried about Sony owning the blu-ray format?
They can DMCA the encryption keys and boom – instead dead format.

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:
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
They do not own it, they did co-develop it. They’ve never owned it outright.

There’s still the super-DVDs, or whatever they were called.
You thought blu ray sales would just continue forever?
