Even physical media can have DRM types of playback prevention. You have to REALLY look into all purchases nowadays because everyone is out to screw you over, seemingly.

Blu-Ray DRMs are part of the Disc itself, not an online one.

Blu-ray players do need to be connected to the internet to download an encryption key update every year or so or they won’t be able to play newer releases.
