HDCP is optional - both sources and sinks can elect not to have it (the Pi
has HDCP support in hardware but doesn't enable it, for example).  Obviously
if you're a monitor and don't implement it, you won't work with HDCP
sources.

Many cheap HDMI splitters strip off HDCP (there's no way to pass through
HDCP communication with 3 concurrent sinks and it's cheaper just to strip
it) so it can easily be bypassed.
