Are you talking about the ICT (Image Constraint Token) that downscales
to 960x540 when outputting via a non HDCP output, or something else?
As far as I know, the ICT is not currently in use on any shipping
HDDVD or BD disc.

BTW, I wonder if the hdfury is real, and if it could provide an escape
hatch.  I should probably buy some before they get sued out of existence.
