Ownership rights are buried in the fine print and downloading or buying physical copies may be the only ways to keep your favourites

*What rights do you have to the digital movies, TV shows and music you buy online?

Customers were told that unless they moved over to another service, Fetch, they would no longer be able to access the films and TV shows they had bought. *

    This is worse than a streaming service dropping a show. They are removing the ability to play digital files that people purchased.

      Its happening for quite some time now. Recently sony did that on the playstation. Thats why we need to go back to self hosting the files (without drm).
