Why wont my pc based corel blu ray player play earlier discs but not 2012 and la

Need to update the blue-ray player software. 2012 has a copywrite key that requires a update to your player software.
Clarify, should not need a "NEWER" version of software, just the update.

I use anydvd so that I do not have to worry about the player software. Anydvd comes out with a update a couple of times a month as new movies with NEW copyprotection come out.

I use Total Theathre (laptops) and Cyberlink (Desktops) blu-ray players.
 
Corel advises that I should keep checking back to the patches on their website. There are none after 2011. Sounds like a business not a technology issue to me
