It already has reduce usage based on Intel ME requirement. If I ever purchase a Intel laptop again, it will have ME disabled / removed from the likes of Purism and such. Even Google doesn't really trust ME since they have worked to replaced it with Coreboot. Might only be on the server side but client side, they should receive the same security benefits of knowing what your computer is actually doing too.

It also does not limit your freedom per-se. It's just an extension of the will of the content provider, and you are not forced to buy that content by any means.

See here. https://www.anandtech.com/show/2622/2 (yes, it's a bit outdated, now we are 10 years later and that thing is commonplace and implemented by every GPU)
There's a reason HDCP exists - content publishers are so paranoid, they don't trust users' hardware or software.
It does nothing to protect the stream when it is still inside the PC.

Can someone explain to me what prevents me fdom modifying TV or other HDCP device to record the decrypted output? This whole DRM bull*hit is ridiculous... For example Deezer was also cracked, see Deezloader. It's impossible to present you a content and prevent you sharing it at the same time or am I missing something?

This is just about enabling the necessary pass-throughs for those two locked-down blobs to communicate with each other and spoofing the HDCP decoder in the display requires a digital signature vulnerability similar to what you'd need to break SSL/TLS.

That's nice but there still may be vulnerable HDCP decoder (Apple said iOS is secure but has been jailbroken multiple times, same with Playstation and other devices). Worst case one can always intercept signals to the LCD panel - it would need to be re-encoded but most content consumers won't notice big difference. It's pointless. Maybe it will satisfy publisher managers and they will approve more content to distributed these new online ways, that would be good, otherwise it's pointless. But as long as it doesn't have to run untrusted big bloatware spying on my computing all the time, I don't care.
