Not yet. Just you wait.
Sony is way ahead of you! Sony pulls discovery videos PlayStation users already own.
They did change their tune later, but it still shows that companies can steal or threaten to steal digital items that you had legitimately purchased access to.
If Sony contends that that is not stealing, then neither is pirating Sony's stuff.
They didn't change their tune, they just played it quieter. I'll bet you $2 that they wait until the negative press dies down and then do the exact same thing as quietly as they can. That's almost always what happens in these scenarios.
I can't remember the specifics, but didn't Audible drop 1984 and Animal Farm down the memory hole at one time?
I mean, is it changing their tune if they are doing it again with Funimation... which they own?
Yeah, actually you are right...
