This has to do with licensing agreements with content providers, to which the solution seems to be that there need to be third-party escrow holders that maintain the license purchased by an individual so that Sony/Playstation is no longer responsible or required to pay for continued licensing of that content. This would fall under FCC regulations, and could definitely be brought to their attention via consumer action.
- tzs 3y agoMaybe something like "Movies Anywhere" but for TV series instead of movies?
- VanTheBrand 3y agoThis wouldn't change anything. If the underlying license for a piece of content linked to your movies anywhere account expired, it would be removed from movies anywhere as well as the original service you bought it from. There's a possibility that maybe because it's an edge case it might end up still in the library of a synced service but that would be more of an unintended coincidence.

- bragr 3y agoMovies Anywhere is hardly a 3rd party though. It's wholly owned by Disney and I suspect it will only last as long as it meshes with their streaming strategy.
- evandale 3y agoMaybe something like "The Pirate Bay" instead of dealing with a fragmented market that's just as bad as 90s cable?
