I am tired of people complaining about copyright measures and anti-piracy measures, and then people complain about internet piracy. It's like trying to please an animal rights against the slaughter of animals and butchers.
I can see both sides of this story, The only problem is that the technology is not widespread enough and it seems a bit premature for apple to be adapting this new copy protection. Going on the amount of hardware out there (according to that article) that isn't HDCP compliant.
Internet piracy is rampant, well excuse manufacturers for getting on the bandwagon to try and fight the uphill battle that is curbing internet piracy. Just look at the amount of money that is lost due to internet piracy.
Besides, give it a couple months and no doubt someone will find a way around it.
Has anyone thought about ways around it? Like using an ipod to watch these movies. Noone would be complaining if this technology was standard in many of today's products.
