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.

    If you’re buying a license to stream ‘until x time’ then Sony should make that really fucking clear to the consumer.

      That is exactly why the EU is going to war against ToS. There’s just so much shit hidden in there. In a few years, every company dealing in the EU has to make their agreements so clear, that it can be seen in bullet form and be accepted on a individual level.

      Kind of like how you setup a Windows or Mac PC. You need to Accept / Decline 7 different features. That’s the future for ToS also.
