And quite frankly, the "dumb" consumer doesn't care about HDCP and its implications. Compared to DRM on music, HDCP is invisible to him, he has no visible disadvantage.
That's as may be... however, it does seem to be ignoring those of us who happen to want video output in a window (as I do now with vdr & gxine). If there's any taintware involved in that, I for one don't want it.
(And I couldn't care less about it right now, at least for my own use - there's no terrestrial HD broadcasting here and there won't be until 2012 at the earliest, that being when analogue transmission is switched off.)
So all the boycott stuff is for freaks only.
Right... so consumers are either dumb or freaks... remember that you're one too :-รพ
