PlayStation Is Deleting Terminator 2 And 550 Other Movies
Kotaku • • technology
Key Points:
- Sony is notifying PlayStation Store users that movies distributed by StudioCanal, including titles like Terminator 2 and Total Recall, will be removed from their video libraries on September 1 due to content licensing agreements.
- The removal affects 551 films and TV series, with no mention of refunds or compensation for users who purchased the content.
- The notification and subsequent PlayStation website update emphasize that digital purchases are subject to licensing terms, reinforcing that users do not truly own the content they buy.
- This situation highlights the broader issue of digital ownership, where end-user license agreements (EULAs) allow companies to revoke access to purchased digital media without recourse.
- Sony has been contacted for clarification on refunds or compensation but has not yet provided a response.
