Default AACS issues & limitations

First, let me say THANK YOU for this forum. It's nice to have a place to voice my concerns.

I have been eagerly anticipating HD movies for quite some time and have been following the news for both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray. Along the way I found a web site that concerned me greatly. It spells out several major DRM issues with the Advanced Access Content System--the copy-protection scheme used by both BD and HD-DVD. That site is here:
http://www.dvdsite.org/faq.html

One of these limitations, "image constraint," is already spelled out in another thread ("Analogue"), so I won't comment on that here. However, I have yet to see anyone address the issue of key revocation (item #2 on the above web page). It seems AACS has the ability to revoke any encryption keys that have been compromised, rendering discs or players that use those keys useless. CSS (the DVD copy-protection scheme) was cracked, and I have no reason to think that AACS might not be compromised as well. My question is, if that happens, how do I know I'm not going to be stuck with a bunch of coasters or a dead player???

Cheers!
Speleo.
