how about we just redo copyright law and consumer rights entirely with a 21st century internet perspective so digital ownership can actually exist (outside of piracy and NoDRM)

What are you doing in this 4 month old thread? EU and US laws don't protect you with these movies. You buy a movie on these digital storefronts be it Amazon video, iTunes, Windows/xbox, PS store they can pull the movies if the license owner (the company who created the movie) decides to pull it from the service:

Can you name a point in the ToS of NeoGAF where it states that threads may not be replied to anymore after a certain point of time?

This is what happens when you have a closed system. You can’t do shit. But imagine this happening to pc ? A big fat lol and 3 mins later a copy of that game will be on the ssd one way or another. If I bought something it’s fucking mine. I didn’t buy a subscription for the game I bought a copy of the game and it will be mine to modify and do whatever I want with this

Sony and MS think otherwise . But at least MS knows they can’t fuck with pc . Not after years of trying to fix their bad image and starting to get there. Sony on the other hand is so anti consumer they think you owe them big time for allowing u to buy and play on their system like they are doing you a favor. God forbid you ask for a refund for a game . They might ban you lol ( kidding of course on the last part but refunding is kinda a mission impossible at Sony )

I heard they are getting better at this though.

This is your digital, streaming, subscription, cloud bullshit future. Now enjoy it

Yup. It's always astounding to me how digital only advocates are so shocked about this very obvious possible outcome.

That's kind of stealing isn't it,lol.......but I'm sure Sony's terms and conditions have them covered.The all digital future......YEA!!!!!!......anyway,nobody is taking my copy of This is Spinal Tap away from me,I have it on Blu-ray.

Those from socialist countries call "expropriation" just stealing because in the end that's what they do... So yeah, that's literally it from Sony too

Do what you want, more power to you. was just wondering how he ended up replying to peoples 4 month old posts here and decided to bump it.

It might still be the case a court will throw out this case, but that doesn’t change anything I bow T&Cs are viewed in court, which was the point I was making.

The case against Amazon was dismissed already in Oct 2021. I hope the people's appeal and transfer to another jurisdiction in that case works but clearly the lawyers who write them for all the companies know what they are doing. If they win against them it will be a landmark case.

I don't know.

But if it happens to customers in Germany, similar things might soon happen in other markets like the UK or US.

That has happened a lot of times before, if you bought something digital and the storefront removes it you will not be able to access it anymore (in some cases the downloaded version still work, but there is no guarantee that will be possible).

This is the very nature of digital.
