A friend and I were talking about this. What would you pay for it? When iTunes + came out, you had 2 options, you could buy a song for $0.99 or you could be the plus version for more, I don't remember but it was like $1.35 or something. Plus had a higher bit rate and it wasn't encrypted. Suppose you could buy a movie for $12.00, how much would you pay for the forever version? $30?
I have fond memories of buying those 99 cents songs with coke caps my grandparents collected for me that had codes for itunes on them. Then I'd burn those to a cdrw and rip them again to remove the drm. I still have those files to this day.
Re: Studio Canal Movies purchased on PlayStation Store removed without refund
#124Why do people buy movies digitally anyway? I can understand digital movies (they are convenient) but renting or streaming seems far more reasonable. If you truly want to own a movie as I suspect people who buy them digitally do, the only way to ensure that is to buy it on DVD/Blu-ray and rip (or redeem the digital code version that often comes with modern releases, though those tend to have DRM). Even then, why do pe…
Convenience. I don’t buy many movies digitally but it’s usually because the family is over and they want to watch something new. Of course I may then pirate it afterwards so I can keep a backup of my purchased movie.
Right but wouldn't you just stream or rent it then? afaik PlayStation, amazon, and itunes all have a rent option

Yeah thats also how I do it. I have a cool 16 DVD/Bluray ripping rig. Even have scripts that convert ripped images into MKV's with all audio and subtitles, art, etc. Uploads into my Jellyfin. And yes, I do buy VHS, DVDs, and Blurays. I have probably 3000 movies in physical format, and 10000 audio CDs. I also rip old VHS, which you usually cant find any torrents of. Again, I specialize in rare stuff you cant buy retai…
I'd like to add Daria to that list. Most of the music has rights issuses and the DVD release has had it all replaced with generic 90s music-like filler.
OMG yes, Daria.
I so m glad I just got those 90s originals

Zero dollars. Because the marginal cost of production is zero and the movie production budget is just a sunk cost. We need to cut copyright terms back to the original term of 14 years and call it a day. Instead of the commons being ceded to benefit itself with hifher content production, the commons was just robbed to give us current copyright law

I don't own any way to play physical disc media anymore, and for the handful of movies I watch multiple times (so far 2), it made sense to buy them. I only buy through Amazon Videos, with the logic being Amazon is going to be around awhile.
> I only buy through Amazon Videos, with the logic being Amazon is going to be around awhile. Sony will be around a while too, but as you've just seen here, it's not about how healthy the company hosting the video files is.
Yeah but Sony has a decade long history of being schizophrenic with long term media format support.
Amazon has spent more money on prime video that Sony has on the entirety of PlayStation. Videos sold on the PlayStation store are a bullet point in a PowerPoint of Sony's finances.

If the contract has an end date then there’s no reason not to mention it during the sale.
You don't always know that, you can have an open ended license with an option to get it revoked in the future with some notice period. I'd be pretty sure that PlayStation also had that in their terms and covered themselves legally for that option.
Would I sell you something if there was a 1 in 100 chance that I have to steal it back from you sometime in the future? Nope.
Would I at least refund you for stealing back that thing you cherish and have possibly watched with your family and kids many times? Absolutely. Wouldn't be able to sleep otherwise.
But I guess that's the morality speaking, and we must kill it violently for marginal profits.

Right now, I won't pay a fucking cent. I'll pirate it off of Usenet or Torrents. I get a strictly better experience if I pirate. Whereas I'm treated like a criminal and sold a much worse experience if I pay. So, fuck paying. I'm not going to pay for abuse.
Related point: try legally playing 4k content* on your PC
* obviously I mean movies/TV/etc. and the like where you have to pay money (as in the article)
