Sony erases digital content from libraries; we're reminded we don’t own what we buy
SMRTR summary
Sony is removing 551 movies and TV shows from UK PlayStation Store libraries, including Paddington, Terminator 2, and Pan's Labyrinth, due to an expired licensing deal with StudioCanal. Starting September 1, customers who paid for this content will lose access to it, highlighting how digital purchases don't guarantee permanent ownership. Sony could still reach a new deal before the deadline, as it did with Discovery content in 2023.
