As always, the paying user has the worst experience. “Purchase” a show, can only watch on a certain console of a certain brand, no transfers, no backups, then it suddenly disappears from the library and nothing can be done.

If media companies insist on draconian DRM, then they should pay for full refunds to their loyal customers when one day they decide to delist that specific show.

    On the one hand, I sympathize with anyone losing access to How It’s Made and Mythbusters. But for everything else on that list, that money was already thrown away for no good reason. I’d like to hope the audiences were small or non-existent to begin with.

    Sony is doing the world a favor by purging most of that garbage from their service, to be perfectly honest.
