Sony is Sony is about to delete Mythbusters, Naked and Afraid, and tons of other Discovery shows from PlayStation users’ libraries even if they already “purchased” them.

So, if you bought a DVD licensed by Sony, can they now legally enter your house and take your DVD?

Or can Sony have some sort of DRM that prevents the DVD from playing when Sony loses the license agreement?

I’m just trying to reconcile how digital purchases can be subject to license terms changes, while a DVD apparently can’t be.

    Netflix was never better than piracy overall. It was better at two things: immediate access over having to wait for a torrent to finish and not having to store any media yourself. It’s also worse at a number of things, so I’d say at best it was equal overall. Now, it’s much much worse, and piracy has only gotten better.

      I mean, you’re right, but I’m as well - piracy was declining because Netflix was just easier. And that’s what matters.

      But yeah, the golden days of Netflix are over (and have been for a while).
