AACS Fees Have Gone Down

By up to 75%, but not on media
The cost of publishing on Blu-ray Disc has just dropped by up to 75%. AACS fees have gone down for all content holders, but the most significant savings are for low volume and first-time publishers. For example, the AACS costs for a first-time Blu-ray Disc publisher (for a run of 2,000 titles) has dropped from $4,300 to just $1,000; that’s a saving of over 75%. If you've already been publishing on BD, the AACS fees have dropped from $1,300 to just $500; that’s over 60% off the cost of your clients getting their BD content on disc.
AACS has made the license fee payable in annual $500 increments instead of requiring $3,000 at the time of signing the Content Provider Agreement; and you can terminate your agreement at anytime. This one change makes it possible for first-time and low volume content holders to get going with BD with a much lower start-up investment and at affordable per title costs.
