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'."
It looks like the cached copy on Google will be the copy submitted in court. I just bought a new ATI card, one of the reasons was because they claimed to support this feature. This situation reminds me of the Compaq ATI 9000/9200 fiasco, when lots of people complained that they felt cheated, although both graphic chips performed exactly the same! So, when something like this happens, thousands of people claim that they only bought the product for what is failing! Please, grow up...
