PlayStation is removing hundreds of Discovery shows that users already purchased
PlayStation users who bought any of the hundreds of listed Discovery programs won't be able to access the content as of December 31, Sony said.
You will own nothing.
That's it. That's all they promise.
48No one "promised" this. It was a thought-piece written by some one, neither endorsing or opposing it, with the intent of sparking a discussion about it. But good on you for parroting the talking point instead of thinking for yourself.
1I don't think you know what a thought piece is. There is no analysis or opinion from the author.
Plus when people share their take on it, you just accuse them of parroting talking points. You have added nothing to this conversation past various forms of "you're wrong," with only insults to serve as counter points.
That said, if you want to try to explain to us why you feel a corporation taking away access to something that was bought is fair and just, I'm all ears and more than willing to have the discussion with you that you claim to want.

Are they not obligated to refund? They're basically just throwing out their customers' shit without permission.
41I hope customer protection will eventually force new terms on the "you buy the rights to view a movie which can be revoked anytime without reason". Like, given that most digital offers are priced nearly as high as their physical counterparts, there should be a law that the right must be given for at least 50 years or so.
26I think that that would be hard to make work from a business standpoint. Too hard to reserve enough cash to operate for 50 years; businesses can go under.
Maybe just buy the physical movie.
I mean, a Blu-Ray or whatever is popular these days movie plus a player is self-contained and will keep working as long as you don't damage one or the other.
People still use fifty year old vinyl records.

I got PS Plus Premium in February for $120/year, months later they increased the price significantly. I don’t intend to renew my subscription, but now I simply don’t intend to purchase Sony games or digital media anymore. They’ve done this before, can’t remember when. They’re enforcing the argument for piracy by stealing media from their customers.
11Disk is cheap. Always get a copy of whatever it is you "buy". If that's somehow not possible, consider the purchase a short-term rental.
10dual survival in its early seasons was the best. Dave and Cody had great chemistry. it was wonderful to see the two sides of survival tactics play with for against each other. but in the end they always found which way the puzzle pieces lined up and it was a beautiful dichotomy "Force nature to be my bitch and Flow with nature to avoid risk and undo labor."

Users who bought any of the hundreds of listed programs will no longer be able to access the content as of December 31, according to a legal notice posted by the company.
The rise of online streaming throughout the past decade created an entertainment revolution that gave consumers massive content libraries available with just a few clicks, all for a small monthly fee.
However, increasing competition among streaming services for licensed content has left many of the platforms looking like endless scrolls of reality television.
Additionally, some users have found themselves burned, as their content providers are starting to lose the rights to items that they purchased on their servers.
On Friday, one Reddit user asked if there was any way they could save their purchased content from Discovery, including several seasons of the reality show "Dual Survival."
A legal notice posted by the company at the time indicated that those titles were also removed due to licensing issues, according to The Verge.
