HDCP Error for iTunes Purchases

Trying to play iTunes purchased movies on my MacBook Pro 13inch screen and im getting a black video box and HDCP errors claiming my display isn't HDCP compliant.

Doesn't work on my laptop display, or when the laptop is connected to external displays.

I've reset SMC, and PRAM with no luck.

Unable to view Top Gun Maverick movie on TV via iMac Pro Air Play Unable to view iTunes downloaded Top Gun Maverick (TGM) movie from iMac Pro via Apple’s Display Air Play/Airport Express - Air Play on a new Sony TV’s Air Play due to HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) Error while using new HDMI cables. All devices/cables are HDCP compliant. All devices are on the same Secure Network. Did a second movie file download to check for movie file corruption. Can view TGM movie Extras – 2 Songs and 7 Featured Bonus short movie clips on TV but get HDCP error when trying to view 2 Hour 10 Min full length movie on TV. Screen Sharing was Off, image was set to full screen, selected Mirror Displays Optimized for Sony KD-55X80K. Does anyone else have this HDCP Error showing in a similar configuration ??? I have contacted Apple and Sony Tech Support but they have not come up with a solution, nor have I found a solution on the Apple Forums or Google Search.
