As expected!!! Why shall someone need a HDCP “ready” display to watch home made movies? If I buy a HDDV camera and have no DRM requirements to watch my own made movies, are the movie studios entitled to force me to buy a new monitor?

Where does it say that?? They are just talking about retail movies not home made movies do some research first.

aint nobody forcing anyone to go out and buy the new bitz n peices is there ? boycott the lot and show em who is boss we are without us they dont excist fact

Yeah, give me an old, good CRT, like the ones SONY once made, with HDCP. Im waiting for a freeware decoder that could use the GPU for decoding.
