There is already "legal" playback for DVDs. By at least one court ruling (in Finland, I think), free DVD playback is legal for Linux because no company makes DVD playback software for Linux, and it would thus unfairly force you to use Windoze. Blu-Ray and HD-DVD have already been made to work in Linux, although it is currently somewhat awkward. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD I have no doubt that someone will write a program to make it easier in time.

But given some time when Bluray fully replaces DVD's then we will probably get Linux with built in Bluray support.
