I see what you're saying, Macrovision is applied to the timing and black levels so that recordings cannot be made as the recorders AGC's get messed up. RGB signals contain no timing info and hence aren't protected as such. But all doemestic RGB stuff I've ever seen uses the composite connection for syncs and therefore gets Macrovision protection.
Some monitors use syncs on green or seperate syncs, but I don't know of any kit which provides them, STB's don't.
