"Of no use to pirates"!!?
I'm not familiar with the exact specs of HDMI, but assuming a 1080p 3-byte-per-pixel data stream at 60 Hz refresh gives you a raw data rate of 374 MBps for a total of about 3 TB for a 2-hour movie. A 2 TB hard drive has a sustained transfer rate of around 140 MBps so 3 in parallel is enough bandwidth to slurp up all the data. It wouldn't be hard to find another FPGA card with the right I/O to handle this so for an extra couple hundred bucks you get a complete unencrypted raw data dump to do with what you want. Sounds like pirate heaven to me.
