      Well whoever is taking them away should reimburse the clients if they were not made aware that they didn’t own the show but were just renting it.

      These behaviors are dangerous and shouldn’t be legal. You press « buy », you own the product, not the right to watch it for a few years.

      Thanks for pointing that out, it is Discovery’s decision. For their part though, Sony is still at fault as they didn’t demand perpetual use rights for content sold on their store, or at least a full refund for the customer.

        This. Offer a refund. Discovery caused the problem, but Sony enabled it.

      Just Max, not HBO Max. They changed the name because they literally planned on making it worse and didn’t want it reflecting badly on the HBO brand.

      The absolute minimum they should be doing here is refunding everyone’s money in full.
