That's why streaming is the new cable TV.
I think streaming is fine - if a show is removed or the service dies you haven't lost content because you never owned any in the first place and never expected to.
I really don't know why anyone buys from the likes of Apple, Google, Amazon, Sony etc. People don't own the content, they own a license which lasts as long as the service or the rights to the content and then it's gone.
Ok then, I'm gonna start stealing Spiderman 2 and sell it to people for, like, $20, and not take it back.
Can't everyone just get a refund on everything they're taking down?
Not from Sony, but nobody has tried to get a refund from WB or whoever owns Discovery.
Why not from Sony, they are the retailer, at least under Australian Consumer Law they are responsible for providing a refund.

The credit card company might agree to a chargeback, but then Sony will ban you and block access to the rest of the content you bought.
