Just because they're still trying to use HDMI to prevent piracy? Who in fuck's name is using HDMI capture for piracy? On a 24fps movie, that's 237MB of data to process every second just for the video. A 2 hour movie would be 1.6TB. Plus the audio would likely be over 2TB.
I've got a Jellyfin server packed with 4K Blu-ray rips that suggest there are easier ways to get at that data.
The CEO's of the media companies are all fucking dinosaurs who still think VCRs should have been made illegal. You will never convince them that built in copy protection is a dumb idea and a waste of time.
All I can think of would be capturing a live broadcast of something airing on TV, and only on TV. Which... Has to be pretty rare these days. And you still have better methods to capture even that!
Even despite that HDMI capture is simply an awful way of obtaining that data, it's even more pathetic when that "protection" can be defeated by a $30 capture card on Amazon...
You can pirate media that uses that new blu ray drm by plugging a capture card into the overpriced compatible DVD player and recording the video. Also, it's a way to transfer saved content from a dvr as their hard drives are always encrypted (do those still exist). The video stream on all this stuff is encrypted with hdcp to prevent this but there exist hdcp strippers. It seems to still be possible to buy them even on Amazon. Stock up before they get banned. Frankly I'm surprised they aren't banned already.
