Playstation removing previously purchased Discovery content

&gt; you will no longer be able to watch any of your previously purchased Discovery content and the content will be removed<p>Content you purchased. Their wording. Not content you rented, not license you paid for.<p>They are effectively stealing the content you purchased.

I’ve noticed something strange on my iTunes account recently - missing tv shows I absolutely remember buying at one point, but nowhere to be seen now.<p>One I remember is “Adventure Time”. Just now searched my email and found receipts from iTunes Store for “Adventure Time Vol 1” dated 22 Nov 2013. I see receipts for the other seasons of the show too, they were not rentals as far as I’m aware. Then sometime in last few years the content disappeared from my account and devices. In fact I just opened up iTunes Store now, found the Adventure Time series still available on iTunes, but it’s asking to pay and saying I don’t have. This is exactly same AppleID I used 10 years ago to buy this content ugh.

Piracy is morally justifiable if this is the alternative.

If I buy a book, I own that book. I can burn it, I can lend or give it to a friend, I can read it as many times as I like, and nobody can legally come and take it away from me.

With DRM you never purchase _content_. You only purchase a _license_ to access it.<p>Words do matter. I sense possible legal grounds for reimbursments if it wasn&#x27;t crystal clear to the layman.

Why not refund people for their purchases then if the content is being removed?

If you want to really own something, buy physical media. Simple as.

This and things like inheritance when someone passes away are things that will have to be regulated since we can’t trust these companies to do the right thing.<p>Allowing people to download what they purchased and allowing account transfers to your kids when you pass away should become legal rights.

In these scenarios the company selling product should offer either full refund, or the price the product is being sold with in some other store so the customers are made whole.

Piracy at it again.

Crazy how we have beautiful technology that makes content ownership trivial, cheap and supremely easy to access -- but greedy companies take a dookie on all that potential. :(<p>I&#x27;m at 560 movies with AV1. I started my local collection again after a long time. My family uses my Jellyfin.

Proud pirate, I buy some games occasionally, do not have Netshits or any other streaming service and for sure not buying a stupid console to have to play to be able to play online. God forbid buying videos on an P$ story. The fact that these dumb console people get lured into paying monthly just to play games online shows they do not deserve better. I would be unthinkable to pay to play a game online on PC, with some eceptions like WOW.

Actions like these reinforce piracy. If you can&#x27;t transfer it off to a Drive, or back it up somehow, you don&#x27;t own it.

Just pirate everything

This is exactly why digital content under a subscription such as PlayStation Plus or Xbox Game Pass is a total scam no matter how long you have subscribed to the service. You never owned the content in the first place.<p>Buy the physical medium.

Weekly reminder that if buying isn’t owning, copying can’t be stealing.

&#x27;puchased&#x27;<p>About 1318 titles.

Another argument for piracy.

Yet another example of why people shouldn&#x27;t &quot;buy&quot; content that they don&#x27;t have control over.

Arrrgh forever

People don&#x27;t own the stuff they paid for, by design.<p>Pirate it or get it in Blu-ray.

Pirates win again!

This is why iTunes Movies are the only place I&#x27;ll buy things - not because this won&#x27;t ever happen, but because I can download and continue to play those movies offline so long as iTunes software continues existing.

No complaining unless you&#x27;re willing to publicly disclose which of the nine seasons of Finding Bigfoot you purchased.
