Google pulled all my movies that i stupidly purchased over the years. That was around five years ago. I don’t have any qalms of sailing the seas for movies anymore.
the16bitgamerOut of curiosity are you sure you can’t access them on YouTube? I found many of my Google Movie purchases there even though I was never warned or told.
With that said still scummy and 100% not buying from Google again.
It’s funny.. because Linux sucks guy thinks the Sony PlayStation is the greatest console.. just wait until they f their player base
they already do and the fanboys defend them
Yes Sir.
I want the movie media I buy to randomly not work due to new copy protection not compatible with my player, I want my CD’s to have spyware, and it’s excellent for consumers to buy hardware which is locked down 100% to a single vendors store.
Nevermind that the PS5 probably uses linux internally, what I really need is something thats a computer, but totally locked
I wonder if there’s a 500+ item torrent right now somewhere called, “All the Movies Sony Pulled this Week.”
This is going to be a huge wakeup call to a lot of people. These are some BIG movies that a lot of people are going to have to REWATCH regularly.
Personally, I’m enjoying my quasi-TV Land-style media life watching what I can pick up at thrift stores for 50 cents-$2.
I decided that my internet bill was really only there for streaming; once I got rid of streaming, I realized I could get by quite fine with an unlimited cellular connection, limited hotspot, and transfer files from my phone to my PC if necessary.

Yar matey.
Yep, since the beginning. Made digital purchases only if I could have a backup of the file.
You can. Of course DRM implemented makes the file useless but still.
I get the usuable ones.
Lol. Digital ‘purchases’
That’s pretty much the definition of “If buying is not owning, pirating is not stealing.” I generally don’t pirate stuff, but man if that thing happened to me I would probably just do it out of spite. This isn’t Netflix where you are paying per month for access to the content. You bought the damn thing. Imagine the same thing happening to a game you bought on Steam. People would be up in arms.
Yeah! They won’t do shit, and Sony knows it, otherwise they would’ve done it.
And this is why I have zero qualms about pirating shit.
