Basically the goal of HDCP is to force you into new technology, not to limit what you can do with the material.

Ive watched several HD movies that have been ripped from BD, and neither my monitor or video card are HDCP certified.
Okay, now I'm confused. If you can decrypt the disk with Vista, then how in the hell does any of this technology protect against piracy? I thought the whole point of this kind of technology was anti-piracy at the hardware and OS level? Or am I falling for some kind of hype?
