I'd like to ask if there is an possibility to make a dvd-disk that would read from dvd-player clock and compare it to "expiry" data on dvd disk itself.

If the date is after "expiry" date then dvd wouldn't show its content.

I'm aware that someone could just change dvd-player time, but I would like to do it another way.
