As another tid-bit, in the early days of the open-source AMD driver effort there were concerns around exposing GPU video acceleration in the open-source driver as to not potentially compromise HDCP / digital video restrictions with MPEG-LA and the like.

How much of this fuckery boils down to the corporate media imposing DRM—all of it, or only most of it?

Most of it. There are still a small handful of "open source is worthless, forget about it" holdouts in this particular problem space.
