And where does the decryption actually takes place?

> In order to make a device that plays HDCP-enabled work, the manufacturer must obtain a license from Intel subsidiary Digital Content Protection LLC, pay an annual fee, and submit to various conditions.[5][6][7] For example, the device cannot be designed to copy; it must "frustrate attempts to defeat the content protection requirements";[7] it must not transmit high definition protected video to non-HDCP receivers; and DVD-Audio works can be played only at CD-audio quality[7] by non-HDCP digital audio outputs (analog audio outputs have no quality limits).
This sounds quite far-fetched though. I'm quite sure we're going to see people literally recording their TV screen with a hand-camera soon.
How about the case where the hardware doesn't support it. Would screen-grabbing be possible then? Where will the decryption take place in that case?
