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.

    No, fuck Netflix.

    Ever been halfway through a show and had it pulled? I have, more than once.

    Netflix is basically a “try before you archive” service.

      That sounds like an entirely different issue to what we’re discussing.

        Netflix can’t solve piracy when it removes things you want to watch. Meaning the best option is to pirate from Netflix, and then watch at your leisure.

        The idea that it “solved” anything is a joke, when it’s also directly helped encourage piracy.

          Have you even tried to read all of my comment or did you just come here to repeat stuff over and over?
