There is already software out there to save DRM protected video streams. They would need to have DRM built into the Monitors and Video Cards to have a prayer at stopping piracy.


That's already present in the form of HDCP, which is implied by using the HDMI connection. Has this really been broken, or are people just taking advantage of the analog hole, i.e. the component/optical outputs which are still active on STBs? I know the Hauppauge HD-PVR lets you record that.

Yes, here's a review of a HDCP stripper. LINK You can never close every security hole. Even if they did lock the system down all the way to the monitor, I'm sure with the proper set up a camcorder aimed at a monitor could make high quality bootlegs, and that's a hole they'll never be able to close.
