What about users who already own HD non compliant televisions will they be able to take action. As it seems the industry has stitched up the consumers.

The situation is nothing like as dire as you make out. Firstly, this isn't new information - HDCP (and the knowledge that it was coming) has been around years. Any TV that carries an EICTA "HD Ready" logo supports HDCP.
V+ does support HDCP. But it doesn't
require HDCP for all HD content - that's at the discretion of the copyright owner. For example, BBC HD doesn't require HDCP.
The few early-adopters who bought a non-HDCP display do not yet have an obsolete piece of kit. And the vast majority of HD displays being sold now are compliant.
