Idijits (Language warning)

The Great HDCP Fiasco

Idjits. Hollywood, the MPAA, ATI and nVidia, not to mention Sony and Microsoft are all just a big bunch of money grubbing IDIOTS who seem to think making it *harder* to even WATCH what people f'ing buy will cut down piracy.
Bullfuckingshit.
They have farted around about HDTV, DRM and copyright and they who THINK they are the powers that be are merely bringing on a lovely little fight between people who want to watch or listen to what they buy *LEGALLY* and those who think that there are pirates around every corner. No they are in bed with those who give a nod and wink to piracy in China and other places and punishing the legal buyers of their products be it software, DVDs, games or music.
I for one, would be very pissed about not being able to watch a DVD on my snazzy new HDTV (not like I could afford one for a few YEARS) or hell play a game on my new PS3 (altough I'm seriously reconsidering that in light of my little run-in with MediaMAX courtesy of Sony/BMG) that I bought and paid for.
Of course the article has the disturbing news that the GPU manufacturers-ATI/nVidia- have been *advertising* a feature that the retail versions don't have but OEM versions that can only be in new computers, which is a bait and switch in my opinion.
