This one bugs me. If I bought the Bluray, shouldn’t I be able to move that content to whatever device I want? I understand the issue with Pay-Per-View, but what’s the difference where I store my files? Do you care about this issue? What would you like to do with digital content which is right now blocked?
HDCP is a copy-protection technology that encrypts high-definition video traveling from Blu-ray players or set-top boxes to television monitors. The technology was approved by the Federal Communications Commission in 2004, and is a standard feature in televisions, cable boxes, satellite receivers and Blu-ray players in much of the modern world.
