+ | This comic presents {{w|HDCP}}, the standard used for protecting content passed over an HDMI interface. It also illustrates the {{w|analog hole}} created by providing the content to the viewer. The hole could also be just an analog video camera, which makes the protection more senseless. | ||
− | + | At the title text [[Randall]] is referring again on {{w|Digital rights management|DRM}} protection. The {{w|Students for Free Culture|Free Culture}} movement, and {{w|Lawrence Lessig}} as one of the activists, are fighting for free content. But the DRM people just try to destroy any free content not protected by DRM. | |
