Apparently this was allowed by the HDCP licensing agreement so it's all legal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-bandwidth_Digital_Content_Protection#HDCP_v2.2,_v2.1_and_v2.0_breach https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-bandwidth_Digital_Content...

The original compressed file will be decoded and sent to the monitor at full resolution and frame rate, and then the pirates will be able to capture that. Then the pirates will need to encode/compress that for distribution. This new file will be lower quality, I believe.
