HDCP support on vid cards?
Hey everyone,
I just got my GeForce 7950GT KO in today, and I noticed it says HDCP Enabled. What is this?

It means that it supports the stupid "content protection" thing that's supposed to stop people from pirating content. Hard for the end-user though, and greatly limits choices.
(But it's actually good that the monitor supports it, because if it didn't, you would be unable to watch the copy-protected shows at all.)
