I would superficially think that bad sector writes would have a hard time surviving a court case if they were argued for that. They break compatibility with all sorts of things, including DVD players themselves. There's got to be something about that which would make it more akin to intentional damage, so things to cope with them are more about data recovery and preservation than about circumvention (circumvention is only a side-effect of said recovery, if it can even be proved such methods are actually DRM, and not an instance of a company selling consumers goods that are faulty-by-design...which I can only imagine would end badly for them, not the consumer, since they're the ones selling the damaged goods).

(ripping blu-rays you own are the same, as far as I am concerned, we are still paying for the source)

Um, Funimation licensed it. They announced they had it and the second season at ACen. Not that I can fathom why, because the anime is a steaming pile of crap and I doubt they'll be able to break even on it, but still.
