Title should read “PlayStation will not steal the Discovery TV shows that you purchased from them for at least another 2.5 years.”
It’s insane to me that it’s legal to take away your access to something that you have previously purchased without refunding you the full original price.
Yeah this really makes no difference in the final outcome. You're still being robbed. They've just given you more advance notice of the day they'll break your windows... and somehow this is still considered "okay" and reasonable.
It's been said a million ways by this point, but it needs to be said every time this comes up. If buying isn't owning, then pirating isn't stealing.
Yet another armchair warrior who has no idea what they're talking about. Those people bought a limited license to access the media that Sony owned. "Buying" digital media is a litmus test for peoples' gullibility and I have very little sympathy for anyone who ever thought they owned it to begin with. Hopefully the fallout of this will teach people that the only way to own media is by owning the file, but I'm sure plenty of lazy, unmotivated losers will take the L and keep funding these shitty corps.
Ah yes. Blame the victim. They're all fools and idiots. Definitely not the comically evil corpo scheme that's the issue here. No, users need a good robbing and thrashing online for being dullards and believing that when they get a purchase confirmation, that they purchased the thing.
Get out of your bubble sometimes, maybe.
