PlayStation Is Deleting 551 Movies from Customers' Accounts

The incident illustrates a persistent tension in digital media: when you buy through a digital storefront, you're actually licensing content, not owning it. Your rights depend entirely on the studio's willingness to keep paying licensing fees.
