Naaaaa, the point of HDMI is yet more of that BS mirage of 'security' (which is nothing but a gravy-train the regular paying punter is funding at great cost).

What this really is about is the costly, futile, ridiculous & unnecessary complexity of DRM/'security' striking once again.

As usual it amounts to little or nothing very practical but it is a pain in the a$$ for all of us regular consumers & it achieves absolutely nothing in stopping any real commercial 'pirates'.

Thanks 'industry'. Not.

But this is the road they are determined to follow.
I can't wait to see what fun the next disaster-in-waiting (blu-ray's new complex array of DRM/security) is for those unfortunate to suffer it.
