You need to go back and read what I wrote. I understand what is CURRENTLY required for BR standards. That in no way prevents content companies, who also own hardware companies such as Sony, to start implementing whatever they want in regards to DRM, whether it be Cinavia or something else, anywhere in the stream. These companies are getting bigger and more powerful each year. They can start dictating whatever standards they want.
In the example above with PS3, it would not take Sony much work to add Cinavia detection into a slightly lower level such that it would not work with Plex either. My guess is, Plex probably just has their own decoding stack, so by fluke it's able to by-pass whatever detection they have for DLNA streams.
If Sony decided to put Cinavia or some other future standard detection into their displays, now it gets much harder. Then, use their leverage to force Samsung, Toshiba, et-al to do it as well. This is not very far fetched.
