Studio Canal Movies purchased on PlayStation Store removed without refund
Points and comments are a snapshot, not live.
Sony removes 551 purchased Studio Canal movies from PlayStation accounts without refunds.
Sony's PlayStation Store is deleting 551 Studio Canal movies from customer libraries due to expired content licensing agreements. The list includes titles like Paddington, Hot Fuzz, Train to Busan, and Shaun the Sheep Movie. No refunds are offered. The move highlights the fragility of digital media purchases.
What commenters are saying
Commenters overwhelmingly condemn Sony, calling the removal theft and arguing digital 'purchases' are just long-term rentals. Many share strategies: buy physical discs, rip them, host a Jellyfin server, or use MoviesAnywhere. Some defend digital buying for convenience, especially for kids' movies. A few note Sony's history of dropping media formats.
