> allow people to create pirated Blu-Ray disks that work as-expected on vanilla PS5 models.

I don’t understand why there isn’t an industry of selling pirate copies of official games. What I mean is buying an official copy of the game, “image” the disc, and press 1:1 copies for cost + a couple dollars.

Why didn’t that happen? Are there technical issues preventing this from working? I can’t think it’s a matter of cost, BRD can’t cost that much to make at scale.
