Why does a Blu-ray player need to connect to the Internet?

It can play Netflix and a few other streaming services. But more importantly, I was able to stream videos to it through DLNA.

Bd players need internet as they only have keys for the discs made before they were made. So if you stick a newer disc in it won't play until it gets updated.
