ATI Claims HDCP Then Covers Its Tracks

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the not-so-fast-hotshot dept.

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'."

    Does it state the 'features' on the box? But the feature was never there? I smell lawsuit..

    Regardless of them being a good company or not, this is unacceptable and they should be closed down. Forever. No excuse for this garbage, except pure greed.
