Sony is Sony is about to delete Mythbusters, Naked and Afraid, and tons of other Discovery shows from PlayStation users’ libraries even if they already “purchased” them.

So, if you bought a DVD licensed by Sony, can they now legally enter your house and take your DVD?

Or can Sony have some sort of DRM that prevents the DVD from playing when Sony loses the license agreement?

I’m just trying to reconcile how digital purchases can be subject to license terms changes, while a DVD apparently can’t be.

    For example, copyright is moral in capitalism, because it “protects artists’ rights” and “copying is stealing” and whatnot.

    It’s more like: despite the lip service capitalists give to the almighty “Free Market,” they’ve never met a monopoly they didn’t like. And copyright is literally nothing more than a government-granted monopoly.
