Blue Ray Questions

I have some questions about Blue Ray.

1: Why does no one sue the entertainment industry for monopolistic practices? While it seems a long shot that the United States today will side with the people and their freedoms over the despotic control of the entertainment autocracy; there is the slim chance that something might be done. Also, and perhaps more important, our cause would be made on a level that might reach national and international news. As such, it might create a useful media circus that would prompt more activism on the issue. How could anyone see this situation as supporting a free market? There is a decisive, concerted effort by the mainstream entertainment industry to restrict the free access of technology to the people. This, not sharing, should be the felony.

2: How easy is it to side-step and ignore the encryption on Blue Ray and just play the disc anyone like it is possible to do with DVD? From what I understand, the early Blue Ray discs can be played but not the new ones? Is this accurate? Is there any hopeful signs of all Blue Ray discs being usable to us anytime soon?

3: Are we able to write to Blue Ray discs? From what I understand, and I could be wrong here, but reading a commercial disk and writing to a writable one is two different things as the writable one would not have the encryption. I don't see an option in Brasero for this. Is it in the works, or is some other program capable of this? I realize that at the moment that Blue Ray discs are not yet a popular burning standard. However, that might change in the future and I'm wondering if we are capable of this yet and if not how close we might be.
