I'm not sure if you can get decoders that remove the HDCP copy protection (unlikely I think!), but you can get converters for HDMI to component, which will also give you an excellent picture assuming your TV has component input. However, these won't be very cheap, so it might be worth sticking with scart until you need a new TV.

Yep, I've heard about some Korean producers of such boxes that were sued in Europe some years ago, because they presented such devices at a German HiFi Fair.
