#2Yeah, super-irritating. I bought about a dozen movies through Google Play before I realized that their platform was going to fail.

You may be able to sync those onto Movies Anywhere. I know that fixing DRM with more/different DRM isn't great but they're sort of trying.

#4I don't get it. You delete or close the account you use to access the digital content, what is the expectation here? That you can keep accessing it without an account? How would they know what you own?

This is fairly pedantic, and I do apologize foe this, but it feels inaccurate to state (or to think) that you were able to buy those movies. We don't buy movies. At least in the US, we buy license/right to view. This gets... into interesting legal territory, but also this leads to situations like digital assets being unavailable after the account to which they are licensed being deleted.

See, the problem is with the word "own".

If I buy a cheese sandwich and there's no cheese in it, then I'm entitled to my money back. Same here, give the "purchaser" their money back.

I've been eye-ing a lot of movies on Google Play recently. Wasn't sure about making the jump, but now I'm curious. What makes you think they're going to fail? Any big warning signs?

Some things work like that. If I buy tickets to a concert, then decide not to go to that concert, I'm not entitled to my money back.
