When I found out Paramount+ was removing Star Trek: Prodigy I bought all 20 episodes of S1 from Amazon Video since that was the only way for me to watch all 20 at the time. On 6/27, I lost access to episodes 10-20. Amazon has done what they can, which isn't much.
All 20 were accessible when I paid for all 20. The full season is what I was buying. Now, I only have access to 9 of the episodes.
What is the point of buying digital content if they're just going to steal it back from you afterwards?! Is this not false advertisement?
Seems appropriate
People don’t seem to realize this. Digital purchases are great until the seller no longer has the rights to the media and suddenly its not yours anymore
Pirate and download and back up EVERYTHING. And if you don't know how, ask someone who seems like they might be able to walk you through it. It really isn't that difficult and you don't need to understand the inner workings of your computer or any fancy-schmancy technology lingo either.
Audible has yanked back copies of audiobooks I "bought." Amazon has yanked entire series I "bought." I "bought" a documentary series 3 years ago and went to watch it a few weeks ago & found that the only way to do so was to subscribe to a channel I'd never heard of and pay over and over for a series I'd already paid for.
We need to start talking about digital "purchases" as what they functionally are - licenses - and seriously, please do download and backup things or just go back to buying physical media.
