DVI and HDMI both support the copy protection used by cable, satellite
and various upconverting DVD players (and I assume HD-DVD and BluRay DVD
players as well). The copy protection scheme is called HDCP
(High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection). It was developed by
Intel. Love it or hate it, we have to live with it.
