Sony removes purchased movies from users' digital libraries without refund

Sony has deleted a number of movies from the digital accounts of customers who had previously paid to own them. The removals have renewed concerns about the nature of digital purchases, where buyers receive a license rather than true ownership of content. Affected users found titles they had bought simply disappearing from their libraries. The incident highlights a recurring issue in the digital media industry, where studios can revoke access to purchased content at any time. Consumer advocates argue that platforms should be more transparent about the limited rights customers actually receive when buying digital media.
