I put a considerable amount of money into setting up my home theater and everything I have still runs on component video. I don't enjoy being treated like a criminal when I want to view a DVD or Bluray disc I have purchased. This annoys me to the extent that I make it my mission to circumvent the protection. And where it can't be circumvented, I've chosen to vote with my wallet and not purchase it, like Directv's pathetic desktop PC DVR player -- when it isn't crashing, it's telling you your system doesn't have enough output protection to view the content you just paid for.
