UHD Blu-ray Disc Authentication Poll

[bruceames]

Ray, is it possible to have internet authentication on an enabled disc ONLY when it is played before the street date? For example, let's say The Peanuts Movie has it. The street date is 3/8. Can the system work where the disc will only need authentication only before that date? There could be some internal clock in the player perhaps?

Or will that disc always need authentication on first use in any player because it's not possible to verify the date without an internet connection?
