ATI Claims HDCP Then Covers Its Tracks
BigControversy writes "It looks like a big can of worms is being opened. The DailyTech.com is reporting that ATI sold millions of video cards knowing that HDCP support was not enabled. Despite that, the cards were sold and advertised to its customers as having HDCP capabilities. A day or two after this information was revealed, HDMI.org went completely password protected and ATI is now modifying key areas of its website, removing any mention of 'HDCP-ready'."
My ATI gives BS and my HDCP card is DOA. HDML is MIA and I am PO'd and SOL.

Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum sonatur.
Like the first post said, it'll end up as a class action suit most likely.
Oh the irony. A class-action suit brought by customers who feel defrauded because they did not get digital rights management.
