2018 observation: It would appear that a lot of this article is supported by ancient citations; thus it needs updating. It seems probable that this article will require carefully dated statements (never present tense or "currently") since HDCP seems to be a matter of cyber war between over-protectors of intellectual property and hackers. Things that were true a few months ago may be false now. (PeacePeace (talk) 02:46, 12 August 2018 (UTC))Reply
