> The thing that killed it for me was buying an Apple TV and then finding out half the content didn’t work because my TV didn’t support some particular fucked up combination of HDCP. I wasn’t about to buy a new TV just to get a copy protection upgrade so fuck ‘em. There are certain adapters that do other things, but can also be used to strip HDCP. It's often used as part of a setup to capture the HDMI output from Macs, since those sometimes have HDCP as well.
