HDMI splitters have been a thing for years.

Apparently they present as a compliant HDMI output to the source device, but they don't require HDCP or similar on the output they're passing it on to.

From there, you're free to do whatever you want with the output.

At least in theory, HDCP keys can be revoced.

Manufacturing non-compliant devices could become extremely risky.

Well, these things have already existed for years...
