There is no way in hell that they'll be ripping Blus though
My understanding is that they don't intend to "rip" Blu-rays the way they do DVDs. They are essentially just going to provide an implementation of "managed copy" (via AACS) that would allow you to copy the movies to the Kaleidescape Server -- hence the note that "Kaleidescape is saying that it is "possible" that the studios will charge users a fee to copy a Blu-ray disc to their Kaleidescape server."
