Sorry it was because I was replying to someone who had an issue with 4k and an Marantz AMP (odd enough the spec for the model seemed to support HDCP 2.2).
How long before someone finds a way to make everything redundant due to HDMI 2.1 coming this year??? lol

HDCP like you say is just yet more unnecessary 'features' when most people just want things to 'work'
HDCP 2.2 has already been broken anyway, simply google 'HDFury' and I'm sure anyone who wants to copy something isn't going play back the content in order to do it.
