HDCP

I poked around some more on the net and I think DVI-D capable displays like mine are HDCP compliant. I can watch HDTV cable programs from set top box set to 1080i (set top box does not have a 1080p seting) and I can watch 1080i or 1080p from BD player via the HDMI to DVI-D cable I have. Apparently the whole issue revolves around the fact that DVI-D or HDMI is a digital signal and the powers that be were worried about copying that signal onto DVD or whatever media. Will they never learn that if you can encrypt you can decipher? I saw the other day that BD copy guard has been hacked and bootleg BD's are on the streets.
