How to Disable HDCP on a MacBook Pro (3 Steps)
Check whether your attached equipment is HDCP-compliant. If you've hooked up your MacBook Pro to an external monitor for your viewing pleasure, and it doesn't support HDCP, HDCP may treat this as a piracy attempt, though some material, such as TV shows, will still run. If you replace the monitor with an HDCP-approved one, or if you watch the movie on the Mac's regular screen, it should play without any problems.
Take an older Mac out of mothballs and transfer the movie over to that computer. HDCP works through Apple's Mini DisplayPort, a digital connection to external displays. If you have an older, iTunes-compliant computer that doesn't have DisplayPort, nothing will stop it from playing the movie on the external monitor.
Right-click the material you want to watch, select 'Version' and then choose 'Standard Definition.' This leaves the movie free to run on your external monitor because it's not playing in high-definition format. This doesn't trigger HDCP, so there's no resistance. ITunes attempts to play movies in high-def by default.
