Good, bad, and ugly? There is nothing good about HDCP or any other DRM bullshit.
This HDCP bullshit drives me insane. I imported a Mi Box only to find out something as simple as Netflix doesn't work out of the box, so now I have to buy a 20 dollar splitter? Wtf.

This is a very good read about HDCP and DRM.
More and more apps are relying on HDCP DRM.
This article suggests a fool proof hardware solution that will benefit many users, especially those with old tvs and tvs with wonky HDCP implementations.
