No, you misunderstand. If the keys to a particular model of player is hacked, then all models of that player will be exempt from future playback until those owners download new keys. Future BD+ titles will have keys that won't play on that model, whether it be owned by the hacker, or someone else who has the same model.
This is simply wrong. Please read what the BD+ spec supports. It is security on a disc-by-disc basis. There will be no revocation of security keys across a whole line of players. The security is on both the disc and the player.
Please read this. Note the following key point (emphasis mine):
Tell me - how many firmware updates is Sony going to want to "give away" in the future?
Sorry, but it is not unsubstantiated FUD on my part. It is a lack of knowledge on yours.

Basic countermeasures, which can check a player that is known to have had its hardware hacked—for example, a patch to the drive's firmware—and detect and respond to this hack. This allows new discs to disable playback on standalone players that have been hacked, without having to revoke the license keys of the entire model or line of players.
While there are capabilities for "advanced countermeasures" subject to studio abuse, the market has a way of dealing with needlessly restrictive media. Ask DiVX.

You just proved absolutely nothing about paid firmware updates with that long quote of yours. I've yet to read any mass media article about HD media that wasn't mostly wrong.
They don't get it, and neither do you.
