i am looking for a hdmi cable to use with the upcoming blu-ray players.i'm hearing that the movie studios might use the image constraint token(ICT) on movies .what i want to know is -does a hdmi cable also need to be hdcp-compliant to carry the ict coded signal Or being hdcp-compliant is only the requirement of the hdmi ports on the tv and blu-ray player and not of the hdmi cable?

The cable has nothing to do with HDCP. It only gets the signal(s) from point A to point B.

HDCP is copy protection at a hardware level between the two compliant devices.

ICT will disallow HD resolution(s) via analog (component) video outputs, if enabled/implemented on the DVD.
