Storage of an entirety of the decrypted video content for an indefinite period of time is prohibited under a license required to decrypt the encrypted video content. The stream of decrypted video content is processed to generate data representative of at least one aspect of the decrypted video content, wherein storage of the representative data does not violate the license.
