As always, the paying user has the worst experience. “Purchase” a show, can only watch on a certain console of a certain brand, no transfers, no backups, then it suddenly disappears from the library and nothing can be done.

If media companies insist on draconian DRM, then they should pay for full refunds to their loyal customers when one day they decide to delist that specific show.

    If they didn’t have a licence to host it in perpetuity, they shouldn’t have sold it in the first place.

    Yes, they should pull it if they legally have to. That’s following the law. However, they should refund consumers in full or ensure that they continue to have the media without restrictions.

        nothing is legally due, Sony more than likely has clauses in their ToS that say they can remove access to content for whatever reason.

        Morally fucked up, but legally fine.

          Everything was once “legally fine” until a court ruled otherwise.

          Shrinkwrap licenses were once “legally fine”.
