This must be the 5th repost I’ve seen of this. Is something going on?

Sonys license to provide discovery content is ending, so anyone who purchased that content loses access to it, even though they “own” it.

Never buy digital from Sony, they are shit for consumer rights.

If you ever bought a movie on the PSP back in the day, you could only download the movie once, and had to rebuy to download it, even if you “Purchased” it

From https://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/psp/current/psn/store/purchase.html

I have games I bought on my PS3, and using the same account, those same games do not show on the PS4 and PS5, they want me to buy, even though I am using the same account.

Fuck Sony

If you purchase something and you can’t just download it, move it wherever you want and watch it there with no limitations, you didn’t purchase it.

It was posted by the instance owner, so you’ll have to ask them.

Tell you what, I don’t really care either way. I currently have three separate streaming services. Netflix, Disney and Amazon. Including a patreon monthly subscription and one only fans I really like for a total of five.

However I want to watch The Big Bang Theory. I’m just not willing to subscribe to yet another unaffiliated streaming service for one TV show!

Just for the sake of organization and convenience I travel the high seas for the show I want to watch!

It’s not that I don’t necessarily want to pay or I want to steal the intellectual property it’s just that there’s no significant incentive for me to watch the Big bang theory outside of the way that I’m currently going to acquire it.

You deserve to be in jail.

Not because of the copyright infringement or whatever, just your choice in what to watch.

Simplify that to “Piracy isn’t stealing”. Copyright infringement (so-called piracy) is very different from stealing.

Sure, if “buying” isn’t permanent despite assurance it was at the time, then copyright infringement is even more justified. But, copyright infringement isn’t and has never been stealing.

it’s a bit hypocritical that big companies complain about piracy when they are no better than Blackbeard, xxx-sama and Akainu combined.

i mean, they have hijacked the system so they can set the rules, their lawyers are law crackers, they take advantages of artists to buy their copyright for pennies and making millions of it, they scam us with DLC’s, fees, dark patterns; they steal our private info, images, text creations, etc. to sell it or use it for AI development; and they also limit our access to the internet and technology by banning third party apps, modding, using anything related to their patents…

sorry but if i was a law enforcer, they would be the first ones i would chase after.

Yes, but then you realize it isn’t lucrative because of said lawyers.

Are we on the same boat?

Yes I don’t care if it’s stealing. Or maybe I do, stealing from Disney makes it more enjoyable to watch my action packed comedy superhero movie
