Except that the customers did buy it - they bought physical DVDs! They could have kept those, probably did, and if so, can still watch them! What Sony is doing

What Sony is doing here is shitty, but it's a long way from removing access to digital content which people have paid for, which is what the title suggests.
- smcleod 3y agoThis would only be true if Sony offered a physical or downloadable version of the content that the users could keep using after they removed online access.
- yencabulator 3y agoThe customers thought they had bought a DVD and an access code. Just because there was also a physical product in the bundle does not absolve Sony of any blame.

As for 'buying the physical dvd', that is just bad plastic because they can't actually use the data on it in any modern way. By law they can't rip it and view it with modern devices so they clearly never 'owned' anything.
- jjulius 3y ago>They could have kept those, probably did... Fire, theft, misplaced/lost, water damage, tiny kid damages the disc, so on and so forth. Keeping something sometimes is out of our control. >... but it's a long way from removing access to digital content which people have paid for, which is what the title suggests. They're literally pulling content they paid for. They bought this knowing they would get a physical copy and streaming access. They paid for both, and now part of that "both" is being taken away.
