Correct me if I’m wrong, but Sony kind of has their hands tied on this one. The shows they’re delisting (or are not able to relicense) kind of get to take their IP off of the system, no?
If they didn't have a licence to host it in perpetuity, they shouldn't have sold it in the first place.
Yes, they should pull it if they legally have to. That's following the law. However, they should refund consumers in full or ensure that they continue to have the media without restrictions.
More than refund should be legally due. The cost to repurchase the product is what is due.
nothing is legally due, Sony more than likely has clauses in their ToS that say they can remove access to content for whatever reason.
Morally fucked up, but legally fine.
Everything was once "legally fine" until a court ruled otherwise.
Shrinkwrap licenses were once "legally fine".
