talk about hardware talking to show the video, does that mean all current 4K sets will be DOA with the new playback systems?

The article states that a 4K television must be HDCP 2.2 compliant to play upcoming 4K programming. The writer also mentioned that not all 4K televisions sold to date are HDCP 2.2 compatible.
Out of curiosity, I did some research on the new Sony XBR-70X850B. Sony's current website info about this 70" TV, along with its 65" and 55" partners, makes no mention of HDCP compatibility. I looked at Sony's promotional material and its online user publications and could find no mention of HDCP compliancy. A telephone call to Sony might yield this information, but I would avoid the purchase of any 4K television unless I saw printed confirmation of HDCP 2.2 compliancy.
It is probably the journalistic skeptic in me, but I cannot help but wonder if HDCP 2.3 and 2.4 (and onward) will be forthcoming that will create more incompatibility until standards are finally settled.
...with their great upscaler you DO get a significant benefit when using just your plain Blu Ray. It is especially noticeable in on-screen text, where lines are much better defined and narrow, comparing to the 1080p. You can actually read some documents in the movies, which look like a blur in 1080p.
