Is this because of HDCP?

No, patents.

So I still don't quite understand patents,

Does it forbid someone from selling the intention? Making the invention? Can I not even make an invention for personal use if it's patented??

[–] db2@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

I think you can generally make one, but it has to be for personal use and you can't ever sell it.
