I agree that Sony readers are going to be royally screwed if this new hardened DRM gets enforced.
Unlike Kobo, Sony has never been big on updating software (which hasn't been much of a problem because the software is pretty good to start with). The last software update for the T2 was November 2012, over a year ago. Perhaps Sony will update the T3 (the latest model), but I really doubt they will bother updating the T2, T1, and older models, especially since they seem to be pulling out of the ereader market.
If Kobo upgrades to ACS 5 and enforces this new hardened DRM, I'm sure they will update their Kobo readers. But will anything be done for Sony orphans? I doubt it. Does Adobe realize this? Do they care?
