thanks for the answer: have the users which use nvidia cards the support on hdcp?

Only on Windows. No HDCP on Linux with NVIDIA.

Personally I blame business schools for hammering the idea that the first and foremost goal of a company is to create value for it owners,

The "evil megacorp" behaviour is less common in privately owned companies (i.e. companies that don't exist to appease the dark and capricious gods called "investors").

I suspect that is the main thing, businness schools are not to blame. Investors genuinely don't give a fuck and just want money.

Nvidia is focused on Android since that's their bread and butter with Tegra hardware being used in automotive systems. Their Linux focus is on professional industries and uses. They might implement HDCP support for their hardware if it ever makes business sense for them to do so, but it doesn't at this time. If Tegra had caught on as an alternative platform for Linux, with competitive hardware offerings, they would definitely have had HDCP support by now.

Business practices that screw over everyone who needs their products or those made using their products in an effort to maximize profit and limit competition is pretty much part and parcel of both companies' business practices. A chemical company is obviously going to cause much more physical harm when they don't care about their customers, but that doesn't change the fact that the fundamental mindset of the people who run both companies is eerily similar.

Personally I blame business schools for hammering the idea that the first and foremost goal of a company is to create value for it owners, with "value" meaning money, a bit too heavily into the minds of their students.

i didnt mean people died because of monsantos chemicals (which is also true) but because of their "selling":

also there are people that are in the ruin because of them
again all of this is more than 10 times worse than ANYTHING intel has ever done

what a shame! So how to get HDCP working? Could Mesa drivers help or AMD video card??

monsanto has been acquired by BYRNE since few months.

AMD abandoned their HDCP development efforts when the company was restructured in 2016. No idea when they will bring it back, but with Ryzen APUs being very popular, they will certainly look into getting it done.

Afaik AMD is not offering HDCP either.

And no, if NVIDIA does not want HDCP you can't get HDCP with their cards.
