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.

thanks spiderplant for this. It does relieve my concerns over this a bit. I have on other forums been told the big issue will be when the PS3 gets released here. Whether the Games side are likely to be ok there is big talk if you get Blue ray films. If you are connected via HDMI or DVi and the equipment does not support HDCP then it will not work in HD.
This is the grey area of concern the Next Gen DVD players are going to be the real concern. The industry needs to be more open about this.
