Here's why: Take a look at Fig. 4-1 of AACS_Spec_Common_0.91.pdf. It appears that the drive holds a Host Revocation List and the host holds a Drive Revocation List. Maybe I'm missing something here but it seems that the first time you place a disk that contains any given player in its revocation list into the drive, that player will forever more no longer function with that drive--even after a fresh reinstall of the player software. Drive firmware hacks may soon be useful.

I was under the impression from the quick glance I had the chance to grab that the volume unique keys would work with any player
once we've gotten them we have them and no longer need the player Key
as for the drive, I'm sure there will be a flash dump made so you just reflash it after every 'update' to the revoke list
