For a while, there were HDMI splitters for sale on Amazon that would effectively strip out HDCP 2.2. I haven't checked in a while, but I bet that's still the case.

It seems like these DRM efforts are futile, but then I remember that it's really just about keeping piracy outside of the grasp of "common folks". They will never be able to stop piracy if someone is determined enough.

Really? HDCP 2.2? I'm not aware of any of those except for the HDFury products with a custom firmware.

Any links to examples? Are you sure you're thinking 2.2 and not 1.4?

Yep, I'm positive that it's HDCP 2.2, but I don't think I should post a link here for obvious reasons. I also don't remember which one it was, but it was a switch capable of 4k60 (HDMI 2.0).

There was a forum where a guy had some sort HDMI analyzer on both ends and confirmed it.
