Niels Ferguson has found a weakness in the HDCP content
protection system. However, he can not publish the
results due to DMCA issues.

He has written a paper regarding this issue here:

Recently I found the documentation of the High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection 
(HDCP) system on the internet. HDCP is a cryptographic system developed by Intel 
that encrypts video on the DVI bus. The DVI bus is used to connect digital video 
cameras and DVD players with digital TVs, etc. The aim of HDCP is to prevent 
illegal copying of video contents by encrypting the signal.
