> One interesting application of this kind of technology was to remove the 'analog hole'. When playing protected content, even the video stream from your PC to your monitor is actually encrypted in a manner that ostensibly prevents anyone from interecepting it.

And yet, despite these fucking morons in the standard committees wasting (probably) millions of dollars in implementing CSS, HDCP and whatnot, and often enough bricked existing devices by revoking keys, HDCP strippers remain available for a dozen dollars or so on ebay, or AnyDVD so you don't have to bother with any copy protection at all.

I don't think HDCP was ever meant to actually stop this sort of thing. Just to make it difficult and criminal.

These don't work on the latest HDCP.
