 The software and anti-pirating stuff is HDCP not HDMI. HDCP runs
over HDMI, DVI and DisplayPort as well as USB-3 and will probably be
required in anything new that comes up even though it is essentially
useless. HDMI itself doesn't seem worse than any of the others, better than
DVI in that it carries audio as well as video.
