Well you CAN use HDMI (or DVI) at that distance … it’s just expensive ($134.50 @ 50′). See Bluejeancables.com (link) and read about their Belden Bonded Pair HDMI cable (which has been used out to 125′)
You could also consider moving your A/V system to the back of the room. I have my components on bracket mounted shelves at the back of the room and the projector shelf mounted (inverted) on a high shelf. Sure the speaker wires need to get to the front, but that’s less expensive than HDMI cables. I run them in Wiremold cable channels along the baseboards to hide them.
BTW, I suspect the reason you can play copies with upconversion and not originals is because the copy software strips out the HDCP token. And you are right it encourages copying.
Bluejeans will sell you a 30 ft HDMI cable for about $87. They claim they have tested these cables to 120 feet.
