Technically being able to recieve it and being sold as hd ready are two entirely different things. Most devices that have HDMI should also have HDCP.

How is the idea flawed ? The idea is simple, only the final display panel removes the encryption on the video. This stops people putting devices in between the player and the display in order to record / copy the signal.
