See Ch3vr0n's response. It's deactivated on-the-fly when playing directly from disc and in your back-ups forever if you make one when the setting enabled.
I believe I had a movie that had some bonus stuff available via BD-Live and the content no longer exists. I have no recollection of what movie, unfortunately, and it was not recent.
I still believe that deep down one of BD-Live's goals was to make people less opposed to allowing a network connection and always-on access. Once they make people comfortable with it people don't get as uptight about it and studios can go on to using it for other reasons. UHD, for instance, can require a one-time online authentication for playback of a disc as per the AACS 2.0 specs if they so wish. I think they'll wait a bit before they begin doing it.
I have no idea.

Does enabling the "Disable BD-Live" option stop BD-Live from working as long as AnyDVD is running, or does the setting only do anything when a rip is made?

As far as you know, have there been any cases where a studio has stopped host BD-Live content?

Not related to the issue at hand, but I am curious: I tried to use PowerDVD's 2D-to-3D playback converter feature about a month ago, and it was telling me that my hardware does not support it. Would activating the "Simulate connected 3D display" option make it work?
I have no idea.
