Cheap HDMI splitters often have the HDCP circuit only on the incoming side and send decrypted signal out of the receiving end.

You can easily bypass any HDCP signal with $25 worth of stuff off Amazon and record it to your local PC with FOSS like OBS or even the built-in camera softwares.

All this does is make people have to spend more money to get less service. It disproportionately negatively affects the poor for no social good.
