I still don't get the piracy concerns over component cable issue. I realize HDMI has the protection built into the cable, but why not just have the player check the disc to see if it has copy protection on it? All my old DVDs I copied stripped the protection off it, so shouldn't the player be able to tell if the disc has it on or not? If it doesn't have any not on it, don't play the disc. It's that simple. I guess the pirates could put fake protection back onto the disc, is that the entire reasoning behind it? But wouldn't it then be good for HDMI cables if they did that? I've never understood this issue.
