This is all well and good, but HDCP is the worst standard ever.

I wonder where they pulled up the 800K number.

And exactly why is this the worst?:

1. Authentication process disallows non-genuine devices to receive HD content.
2. Encryption of the actual data sent over DVI or HDMI interface prevents eavesdropping of information. It also prevents "man in the middle" attacks.
3. Key revocation procedures ensure that devices manufactured by any vendors who violate the license agreement could be relatively easily blocked from receiving HD data.

One of my buddies used to work at a bank and most of the cops that would come in, never paid for a cable bill. There figured why pay for cable when ya got Dishnet ....

So I am sure they go there to buy the dvds, then go in the next day and do the bust...

1) All hardware in your home theatre system must be HDCP compliant or you are screwed, so that means thousand and thousands of dollars worth of upgrades for the average consumer, rendering gradual component upgrades useless

2) If you want to use a computer to broadcast HDCP compliant content to your TV but control everything from your computer, your DVI splitter must be HDCP compliant as well, and probably the cables too

3) Did I mention that nothing is backward compatible? Sure there are devices that convert HDCP data to analogue so that non-HDCP compliant units can be used, but what is the point of that? Also, these devices are far and few between, and you can't just go out to Futureshop and buy one.

4) The entire standard is dictated by a single company, so it's not like the DVD standard where every company has their hand in the jar

5) Everybody that has an HDTV without HDMI inputs (millions and millions of people out there) just wasted their money because they can't decrypt HDCP data


And a ton of other things.

Pacific mall, never heard of it.
