One method appears to be playing back on a legitimate player, then using HDCP strippers on hdmi/displayport outputs[1]. I've seen some 4k releases that clearly show the streaming site's playback controls, for instance.

I remember cheap chinese hdmi splitters used to inadvertently strip hdcp; is that still current?

Yes, but you could just explicitly search for a hdcp stripper and it'll work.
