Another option is that somebody got ahold of some HDCP chips that fell off the back of a truck. There are Chinese companies (Explore Semi and friends) that make HDCP repeater chips with decryption / encryption capabilities. Those bad boys can take an HDCP-protected input stream and strip the encryption right off.
DCP controls chip sales very tightly in the US, but I imagine it's a practical impossibility in Shenzhen.
