Gregory's Server@rticks @gamingonlinux Yeah. This is very much based on trust.
Everyone knows that the platform might be legally in the right to remove the content after you bought it. Plus it would save them a lot of money.
But the plattform ie Amazon also knows that this would destroy the trust in such services and overall less people would buy movies digitally.
Now Playstation destroys this trust based agreement and it will likely have consequences for the whole market if it is pushed enough by media.

 @UkeBLCatboy @keyboard @rticks @gamingonlinux Either that, or say that if the "seller" wants to claw something back (perhaps because it turns out they don't have the rights) they have to give the "purchaser" a full refund. Quotes used because if you don't have an unencumbered, non-DRM copy of something you don't own it.  @not2b @keyboard @rticks @gamingonlinux easier solution: just give customers the right to download that specific media from a torrent. Refund can be hard - what if your credit card changed for example? Individually processing millions of requests sounds nuts. I like how steam does it - if they get pulled from the store they stay in the library of anyone who bought them. |
@keyboard @rticks @gamingonlinux There is an easy solution here - the EU should simply make it illegal like with many shit things like these XD
Then they won't do it in the rest of the world either - and not offering products in the richest market in the world with over 400 million people isn't an option. :D
