Should the security in the playback device become compromised, the device manufacturer shares its security key with disc authors, who enable a workaround on the disc that allows secure playback for future titles despite the hack. It does not disable playback in any way.
It can prevent playback of specific titles. If a player is hacked, then future titles will be written as to prevent playback until you plug your player to the internet and download an update. Initially, these updates will be free, but ultimately people will be charged for them. It is a system that punishes law-abiding consumers when a criminal hacks a particular player. Of course, since BD+ has been cracked by Slysoft, so the criminals couldn't care less. It's going to be really interesting when people find out that they are not allowed to play their new BD film in their non-hacked players. LOL!
And current BD-ROMs are having issues playing newer BD+ discs.
BD+ launches a virtual machine inside the playback device that ensures secure communication between the disc and the player.

Yeah, what kind of damage could something like that cause? *cough*root-kit*cough*
