Sure, so does organized crime. What's your point?

Hey now, organized crime usually has an element of giving back to the community, it's much more ethical than this!

The HDMI Forum blocks open source implementations of their spec. They want to keep it closed source so they can charge whatever they want to use their standards.

Big content creators (Disney, Netflix, etc) want TV manufacturers to keep using HDMI because the standard includes a DRM protocol.
