It’s becoming more apparent digital purchases are glorified rentals. Sony announced their play store would remove hundreds of titles from Discovery that users previously purchased. This upset many Sony PlayStation users who learned they will no longer be able to access the content they thought they owned.

The move comes after Sony was not able to renew a licensing agreement with Discovery which allowed them to sell digital versions of popular TV shows and movies. This is not the first time a major streaming platform has removed content people purchased; in fact, Sony has done this very thing before. Users are under the impression when they purchase a digital version of a show, movie, game, etc., they now own it. Some are calling for legal action against Sony for remove the property they believe they own, but the terms of service may save Sony.
