Well that's a massive over-reaction. Hotels all exploit every opportunity open to them to make as much money as possible off their guests. If you travel, you expect it and learn to work around it or find somewhere less restricted. Next time, simply don't stay there if being denied an HDMI connection offends your sense of entitlement so much.

@CrankyOldDev I really don't think that's a massive overaction considering the hotel removed one of the most basic features that every hotel room should have... I working TV.

Finished a large project around the same time as a tv-series. Exact same feeling...
I stayed at a hotel called "Crowne Royal Plaza" for a work event in Denver. The TV in the room was a nice new '50 Samsung. Much to my dismay I discovered they had disabled the ability to change the input to HDMI. I called the front desk to compain and the pesent who answered the phone had the nerve to tell me that feature had been disabled because it was "illegal". I laughed histarically and explained the reason was actually to try and force customers to buy shitty pay-per-view content, to which he replied, "Probably".
We must put an end to such blantant disregard for hardware and software freedom. This is beyond uneccaptable. I am completely and utterly disgusted by such slimy business practices.
To the management of the Crowne Royal Plaza, from the bottom of my heart, fuck you and burn in the deapest, darkest part of hell, you scum sucking dick fucks!
