Sony allowed you to purchase episodes and seasons of shows like Mythbusters. They specifically stated you were purchasing that content.

Then they removed that purchased content from people's account's after they went separate ways with Discovery. Sony and Discovery stole from their customers

Yea, that's just plain stupid of them. I don't know how they expected that to go over.

Oh yes, I bought that content, but sure, take it away. I totally understand that the licensing changed.
